How do I create a Japenese kanji, and then use in a song???

Theres a thread in the Artistic forum that explains how to get japanese text working on you computer, but if it turns out to be such a hassle, then is it really neccessary, just use romanji.

Oddly enough when I was making a stepfile with the title haruka kanata (which is what I put in the sm. text file) when I loaded stepmania it autoconverted it to kanji for me (遥か彼方) which was weird, but convient, but then I knew it anyway.

Simfile for those intrested, its good http://www.bemanistyle.com/sims/simfile.php?id=6901

That'll be because it was in Translations.dat.

However, and I should emphasise this, entering Japanese text into your SM file and actually getting Stepmania to display that text are two entirely different challenges. The former can be solved through the use of an IME, or Translations.dat if you don't want to enter it right into your SM file for some reason, but the latter can only be solved by adding all missing kanji to your theme.

I do very much think that...you are correct though...using romanji is a good idea...but would you if given the option between the two...go through the trouble of displaying it correctly? Like in a simfile...and there is a readme or something...that tells you what to do...would you?
