changedAdditions:For those of you using a Japanese keyboard and Japanese IME, you can now hold down the SHIFT key to toggle from Hiragana mode to Katakana mode (for when things are getting intense on a "Both" lesson or during Freeplay). For example; SHIFT + か will convert to カ. For keys that have a Hiragana character already assigned to SHIFT + such as small や, ゆ, or よ, as well as を and ろ, the system will look at what's been previously typed and what fireworks are actively on the screen to decide if you wanted to type a Hiragana or Katakana character.

fixedBug Fix:Fixed a bug that was causing a delay on certain key inputs when a Japanese IME was in use and the keyboard was set to Hiragana mode.
