There's some news all over the brony community this morning (
here here here here, and probably other places too by now): MLP:FiM is finally going to Japan. That is to say, episodes (presumably of seasons 1 and 2) and merchandise will soon be available there.
Here's the original source of the news.
"
Target: college students - teenage girls will be sold at grocery stores across the country, such as women in their 20s"
^I lol'd at that, both because Google Translate is a silly pony and because college students are now blatantly a target audience...
