I may be wrong but I would bet against a april fools joke and feel confident in doing so.

Having just now had a chance to look at the site, I have the following observations to add.
One, this looks like far too much work for it to simply be a joke.
Two, if it WERE an April Fool's joke, you'd expect Libido to make a joke that Japanese people would relate to and/or find amusing. A joke about the English market would be of tangential interest to most Japanese, I think.
Three, their barely-functional English means whoever made that page is more than likely Japanese--so while they may or may not have, like, translators, they've shown no evidence of them ;).
