Amazon Video Direct more forces me to create new titles for each version of a film, English, embedded German and Embedded Japanese. So my Japanese on has a Japanese name how do I add this to IMDb, as it won't take Japanese characters?

I was trying to add an alternative title as I thought for some reason that it was relevant, it was during athis process that it asks for a year (that the title was first used) which is different to the years of original release in both the DE and JP cases
Yes, that is the mandatory rule on IMDb. You can enter the title default year, or a later date if you know that the alternative title was not used before that year.
I learned that it required a year (that the alternative title was first used) at the end of the Japanese name which it would accept when I was trying to enter the data, hence this thread. I can't be the only person to have released a film in Asia with an asian character name, can I?
Lawrence, I do not understand whether the problem is to have the date added at the end of your entry, as per IMDb rule, or to enter a title with a non-latin alphabet. I have seen scores of entries in Russian or Greek, I do not see why Asian alphabets would not fit. But you are right that I do not recall seeing one yet.
I just get an error to tell me that the characters are not valid
"The Unicode character at code point 31169 [私] is not supported."
repeated for each character in the title
