That could also be a reason why its NJS rather than the kanji equivalent. Probably 33%+ of all writing in Japan is in english. Thats excluding English in airports etc. to help non-japanese speaking people.
I've been to Japan a few times and I'll bet CEYA has been there twice as much as me. What I discovered on my visits there was that more Japanese than not, can speak English; even more can at least understand English. Just about everywhere you look in Japan you can see the English language being utilized.

IMHO, I feel the Japanese "characters" would look far better stamped on their respective products.

BTW----The Japanese are the most polite and honest people I have ever met.
