I have found that there are a few Japan-only games that are 100% playable by people who know absolutely no Japanese at all. Could I please get a list? I do not care about genre. I simply wish to know what of the many Japan-only games I am able to play.

I found out about a few by Googling, but it appears that I cannot find a comprehensive list, which is why this topic exists now.

The List, as it is so far:
Taiko no Tatsujin DS series
Osu Tatakae Ouendan series
Little Charo Travels in English
Jump Ultimate/Super Stars
KORG M01 Music Workstation
Umihara Kawase
Tales of Hearts I do not consider it playable unless whatever story it has can be understood without googling.
Ketsui Death Label
Tales of Innocence
One Piece - Gigant Battle
Daigasso! Band Brothers DX
Densha de Go
Dragon Ball Kai - Ultimate Butouden
Kidou Shenshi Gundam 00 DS
SaGa 2 - Hihou Densetsu - Goddess of Destiny
Utacchi

KORG M01 Music Workstation
What is this game about? I can only find information about other games with KORG in the name.
It's a very easy music machine for the DS. It is much easier than KORG's first DS synthesizer.
It is only released in Japan, but it is fully English.

Fun fact: they spelled "KORG Music Workstation" as "KORG Music Workstaiton" on the main menu.

Oh, so it is Garage Band for the DS? That seems fun!

Tales of Innocence which has been fully translated.

One Piece - Gigant Battle (though it's being released in Europe) which uses an enhanced version of Jump! Ultimate Stars' engine as well as some RPG elements.

Daigasso! Band Brothers DX

Densha de Go (series), and it's about trains, not Go (though it's actually quit fun and is recommended among Import Gamers).

Dragon Ball Kai - Ultimate Butoden (Which is being translated, though you don't need to be able to read Japanese to play it).

Kidou Senshi Gundam 00 DS

Saga 2 DS (Which has been translated fully)

Also, Umihara Kawase is a platformer that doesn't require a knowledge of Japanese

QUOTE(TwinRetro @ Feb 25 2011, 04:16 PM) Umihara Kawase is a pretty awesome platformer.

As this is in the Nintendo DS Section, I do not believe this suggestion should go here. It may be Japanese, but what I could find of it suggested it is not on the DS.
