Plans on getting a Japanese 3DS

So far I had a friend that's in the other side of the globe that has a Japanese import of a 3DS, My plans later on is to start to see about saving up for a 3DS import so that way I can get access to the demo that they have already in the eshop.  The way I see the marketplace is already there months before it hits the U.S that's going to be one of my reason to save up for one.  But also I can have the ability to play with other people another the globe I know that I can do with the U.S version of the 3DS but the U.S doesn't have the  Japanese language embed on U.S version that's like my only problem I see with this. But if I were to get a Japanese I'll have learn the basics for instants the do need to know my basic kanji even to scroll to the home menu.  But since it'll be no problem for me at least I'll learn my Japanese quickly on the basics.

I can't say for sure that I'll be available to get it really quick but sometime when I have the money I'll do that, right now I can't/  For anyone that owns a Japanese 3DS, how's the system going for you? Do you feel that the marketplace is different or the same let me know down in the comments/ down below?
