Well, I can't say it keeps me up at night, but yes the question of whether they can or will transfer those typing skills to the Address Bar is a key one. I cannot say I am unduly worried, because if there are technical issues around being able to type into the address bar they will get resolved and I am sure the Japanese will do it even if it takes a while for them to change their browsing behaviour.
I don't believe that under any given scenario, Japanese is going to be catching Russian up fast, but of course anything we get from Japan will be a bonus.
