Long version: Japanese kana is taken from the Chinese characters. This is hirigana, the more complex, symbol = concept writing. This is opposed to katakana which is more phonetic.
Short version: It's all the same at a certain point.

This would be Kanji, if at all Japanesse... Hirigana and Katakana are rather symplistic in brush work.

Ah, true. That's it. I'm going to stop working, take a proper lunch, and compose accurate cultural notes... *sighs* Fie.

new video on Lucy's page, but I can't seem to download it yet. No speakers at work anyway, grumble grumble.

At first glance these characters look like either Japanese kanji or Chinese characters. I couldn't even begin to read them....
And jeez you guys solve these fast!

The video seems to be a one-sided phone conversation with Johnny. It's interdispersed with through-the-camera shots of Lucy in the bathtub (Mmmmmm.) Judging from his use of "Big Hat", I'd say he was talking with Claverias, who seems to be the shot-caller for Mi Casa.
Total spec, though.

they changed the front page odd it now says
I'm so sorry
I passed on something precious to my niece, Lucy, and now they're going to murder her because of it.
This place is all I got, so I need your help to protect her. You get free poker. All I ask is that you return the favor.

And it confirms that Harry is dead. As does his profile page now.

Nah, Ricky calls Harry "Big Hat" in one of the updates on his page. Harry was the Big Hat. Now Don is

The word "DON't" doesn't flash up there either. Though it was so fast (I had to screen-record and slow it down by frames) , I doubt it's got present relevance.

A point I'm not arguing. I wasn't implying Claverias was the Big Hat, since he speaks of (who I'll assume is McPherson) in third person, not first...
