If you need help with the japanese let me know, my girlfriend can understand a bit of japanese B-) Cool model so far :) looking forward to seeing it when it's all done. As for the triangular and quad surfaces, I usually prefer modelling with quads. you might want to keep a quad version too for when you're modelling and then later triangulate when exporting for use in bryce.
