During the last months, several announcements have been delivered there about the upcoming deployment of the visual editor.
After soliciting feedback for months, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109818 was resolved.
The last round of feedback (from en.wp editors who know Japanese) has also been positive.
I posted several notes to "village pumps" and users' talk pages last week.
The main announcement, which includes instructions about the single edit tab system, has been translated.

Next steps:
- drafting a short notice for noticeboard and editnotice, as suggested by a community member;
- linking to the local, quick-help page that Miya wrote;
- moving the latest announcement from the April archive where it ended up automatically to the current page.

Data point: 4682 registered editors made 70k edits last week; 5445 IPs made 25k edits. Hence, @Jdforrester-WMF, I'd like to request a staged rollout (IPs later, separately from everybody else). Thanks.

We have agreed that the rollout starts on Wednesday 11th when it's morning in Japan, and it affects registered editors this time.
All of this has been communicated to the community, in addition to highlighting the useful fix for launching WT or VE from keyboard shortcuts.
Thanks @Trizek-WMF for your help in watching the situation during these weeks!

This first phase of rollout was pretty much uneventful (not much feedback so far).
As for communications, we got over 60k views to related pages, mostly where the change was announced or detailed in the past 10 days (link: https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/#project=ja.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-10&pages=Help:VisualEditor_sandbox|Wikipedia:ビジュアルエディター/フィードバック|Help:ビジュアルエディター|Wikipedia:ビジュアルエディター|Wikipedia:お知らせ|Wikipedia:お知らせ/過去ログ/2016年04月|Wikipedia‐ノート:ビジュアルエディター ), in addition to sitenotice views and impressions for a widely transcluded noticeboard.
