 %description
-This module provides libkakasi interface for perl. libkakasi is a part
-of KAKASI.  KAKASI is the language processing filter to convert Kanji
-characters to Hiragana, Katakana or Romaji and may be helpful to read
-Japanese documents.  More information about KAKASI is available at
-<http://kakasi.namazu.org/>.
+This module provides interface to kakasi (kanji kana simple inverter).
+kakasi is a set of programs and libraries which does what Japanese input
+methods do in reverse order. You feed Japanese and kakasi converts it to
+phonetic representation thereof. kakasi can also be used to tokenizing
+Japanese text. To find more about kakasi, see http://kakasi.namazu.org/ .
+
+Text::Kakasi now features both functional and object-oriented APIs.
+functional APIs are 100% compatible with ver. 1.05. But to take advantage
+of "Perl 5.8 Features", you should use OOP APIs instead.
+
+See Text::Kakasi::JP for the Japanese version of this document.
