Wii Unlocking to use Japanese games in my US Wii

I am a novice (beginner) in games. I bought my Wii in the US and moved to Japan. I want to be able to read and play Japanese games. Is this the right forum to investigate how to do that?

Thank you,
Jeff Ellison

Gecko OS/ Gecko Region free allows playing import games

Install HBC (with US twilight princess).
Use GeckoOS/Starfall.

Oh god. "Unlocking".
