In case of major memory constraint, go for Romanjii [sp?] (which is 
Japanese written in Latin Letters and which the name of the writing systems 
are examples <g>). That is what we often see Japanese written as here in 
the US. It is the text converted phonetically and needs some accents but 
nothing more. For another example with accents, check out the name of the 
popular children's show "Pocket Monsters" AKA Pok�mon.
