MySpace Japan launches

The ever popular MySpace social network has banged out a special Japanese version of the networking service, and launched it today. MySpace is currently running national versions in Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, and in the UK. This new language integration is a team effort between News Corp. and Japanes bank Softbank. The main competition in Japan for MySpace is the 6 million member service called Mixi. With all of this money and traffic behind MySpace, why in the world can't they spice up their user interface? Nevermind, maybe that's what makes the site work so well.
