Microsoft IME
Many people ask me how the eff I am typing in Japanese without a Japanese keyboard!
Well, it's quite simple you see, I use Microsoft IME
Microsoft IME is basically a program that lets you type in different languages

I think that will work in Windows 7 and such but I don't know...
anyways, you simply click input mode and then Hiragana to type things like this
ひらがな！
and then back to Half-width Alphanumeric to go back to English!
It is a great way to type things quickly in Japanese or any other language!
Edit: Another great usage of IME is the IME Pad. It allows you to draw out the characters using your mouse! A great way to get practice with strokes and shapes!
