「平成25年９月２５日」は　「２０１３年９月２５日」ですか。
Does the Heisei year counting system affect only the year?
I mean, do the months and days stay the same as the English calendar? (ie. September in Heisei is September and so on.)

-Thank you

Answer

Yes, it's only for year. So month and day are the same as the Western calender. 
(Now we are in 2016年, in Japan, we can also say 平成28年.)

I hope this was helpful. ;)

Answer

Since 1876, January has been officially regarded as the "first month". If you deal with dates before that, then there is some magic that you have to do.
