I was thinking exactly the same thing! Thanks for confirming the functionality. :)

It might be useful to explain how to set this up since it was a pain for me. It's actually complicated because Windows does NOT give you that option automatically. You have to go into the "Options" for Japanese and select "Microsoft IME," then "options." Then you pick "general" where you find a check box for "romaji." It was very frustrating to figure out and not even Microsoft's support pages fully explain this. It would be very useful to have this explained rather than have people assume it's going to be already set up.

Informative video! I am studying Nihongo and as part of my immersion, I want to type in Japanese scripts but did not know how natives type. Thanks!

I wonder how even emojis are also as an option, that's really cool! Instead of just typing out Windows + . (period). So the space bar is sort of the same as the suggestion bar on the keyboard of a phone.

When I select Romaji input on Mac OS I only see latin letters when typing.

I have just one question, how do I make small Hiragana by using the Kana input? Example: あ to ぁ

Ah ha. What you didn't mention, but I worked out by watching carefully, is you select the suggested conversion by pressing enter or continuing to type some more romanji. Japanese IME is so badly documented, you have to just keep fiddling until you work out how it works.

I’m sorry, I don’t do that intentionally because I believe it interferes your pronunciation

I want to try typing with kana input, just to get rid of thinking in romaji - at least to experiment with it. Sadly there is the problem that my European keyboard doesn't have the input buttons on either side of the spacebar that switches between kana and romaji input. Because of that, it is really difficult to switch between the two input methods (You have to change a setting, then close the software, and start it again... so you can't just switch easily). I noticed a small little error in the video, the blue romaji text show "shimashouu" both times you write it, but it should only be one "u" at the end :)
