If you've played the English version, you'll be happy to know that they really tried to keep the translation and FEELING in this Japanese version. So you can enjoy it and practice your Japanese at the same time.
I love the Sims series but the first and second generation hold special places in my heart. Enjoy the simplicity and quirkiness of the Sims all while listening to some of the best original music. I think this game suits any person willing to try it. even 20+ years later it's a pleasure to play.
