ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

Accessibility

Japan Recs should work the same whether you're on a trackpad, a keyboard, a screen reader, or a phone clinging to one bar of signal in a basement konbini. This is the honest version: what we build to, what we check, and what's still on the list.

What we build to

We target WCAG 2.1 Level AA. In plain terms: every control reachable by keyboard, a focus outline you can actually see, text that survives being zoomed, form fields that announce themselves, and motion that backs off when your device asks it to.

What we check

Semantic structure — real headings, landmarks, and lists.
Keyboard access, with a visible focus state on every link, button, and field.
Form fields with names that get read aloud.
Reduced-motion support for anyone whose system requests it.
Color contrast measured against AA thresholds.

This site was last audited on 16 May 2026, using automated tooling (axe) plus a manual keyboard and screen-reader pass.

Known issues

We'd rather tell you than let you find out:

Red and green chips were reworked for AA contrast — ink text on brand red, and a darkened matcha (#3f7548) with white text. Primary buttons are ink black. New label colors get checked against both white and ink before they ship.

Found something we didn't?

Audits help, but you'll catch things a tool never will. Email steven@allstarsteven.com with the page, your browser, and what got in your way. We read every one — and "this was annoying" is a completely valid bug report.
