    I guess I better add my $.02 here. I don't really think that Japanese
should be used when there is an appropriate english translation ("sempai"

I agree in some cases, but simple words like Nani? Ano? Arigatou etc. are 
pretty easy to understand. And even the more difficult ones are also if used
in a good way. For example, Kun-chan's lemon series uses a LOT of Japanese

words

to describe *ahem* yet it is pretty obvious what they mean. AND, as a

bonus, you

learn a little Japanese.

imho, who cares about using those words?  i think it's...well, bad form, in
a way.
we speak english, you can live without japanese in your story, therefore why not
just stick to english?  i think this ranks up there wtih using multiple
punctuations
(!!!) or (???) or even (?!).  not terribly horrible, but bad form anyways.
