Following their closure due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Japanese Computer Entertainment Rating Organization, CERO, will reopen this week. Last month, when CERO closed down, Japanese developers were concerned, stating that certain games could be delayed as their release would require a CERO rating. The organization will be continuing their work from their offices on May 7th, but are looking into transitioning into working from home going forward.

By this mechanism, I declare emergency about the new coronavirus of the government and was closed in response to a going out self-restraint request by the Tokyo Governor temporarily, but reopen duties from May 7 after having strengthened the infection precaution of the staff and the judge. During a suspension of business period, I apologize for having hung the worry that is great for all of relations and a burden including a member.
I do it for the time being from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to perform off-peak commuting about the duties time. In addition, I am pushing forward preparations to introduce a telework early by this mechanism now.

They skipped a lot of letters in the alphabet.

Am I the only one wondering why they used the English alphabet for their rating?

Possibly so. Japan is full of English letters and words.

There was even an older man who complained to NHK or something for using so many non-Japanese words in news reports or something.

Prior to 2006 they didn't Japanese Wikipedia page with the old logos (Google Translated)
Apparently the change was made to make the ratings easier to understand

Is this the same cero that gave gta sa a Z even though it should've been rated a D because of the many things they removed?

I honestly would personally prefer if "GTA" and similar computer games were banned.

They are seriously bad influences on children.

It's amazing how many jobs can now be done from home. Such magic.

Latin letters are simple, use thick clean lines, and are easily recognizable. That and readable by most of the world. Japanese can use latin letters as well, so they're pretty dang familiar with them as well.
