If you wait another month or so Apex will release the S-AFC II in the states. Why in June... because they are working on the english translations of the instruction manual.
Kinda ironic huh?
And just on a side not you should have waited for Apex to release it in the states before you bought it cause the unit you have will not be covered under warranty.
They do know that people are buying the S-AFC II off the net. And they will be tracking this through serial numbers and it will actually have a different part number for the states (I think)

I can read a little bit of Japanese as well, but I'm real rusty on my kanji. Gotta study up.

I think it is an attempt to tranlate "Lust then Love" into Japanese.

The direct translation tho is:
Love at first sight and keep on loving it forever.

translates to

"takes the heart in one day, can love forever"

my read is

"Love at first sight, that lasts forever"

You're actually right about the "takes the heart away part but.... Is it "one day" or "one sight"? Can't really tell.

you're right, it's "one sight" makes more sense, in japanese, that way too

so it's

"takes the heart in one sight, can love forever"

Is it just me, or does all Japanese translations sound like Haiku?
"Lust, then Love" just sounds so brutal in comparison.

Even my stereo instructions sound like poetry.

I think my favorite spoof is the "Mr. Sparkle" detergent add: "Banishes dirt to the land of wind and ghosts."
