Mods can change the title anyway. |=P

And I'm just saying, this is an english-speaking forum, so its a little lame to be putting the kanji/kana title for something rather than putting roman chars that we all use and know.

Needlessly pretentious is right. I was saying that to you as an admin, please refrain. Not really trying to persuade you.

I can speak hindi, but I don't think it would be very appropriate of me to bring up a meaningful thread in the language.

In situations where we're quoting a press release that uses kana or we're breaking news and just know the kana for whatever being reported, that's ok. However it is unreasonable to assume everyone has memorized what each title "looks like" in japanese. You seem to be doing fine in the english-speaking forum anyway, kenji.

i dont mean this in a rude way.. but it sounds like ur only complaining because of your inability of reading katakana or kanji.. and your 'speaking' on behalf of everyone..
that to me is very self-centered.. *im turning evil*



likewise with frecklegirl... pretentious..
who's really pretentious? listening to japanese music..can u converse fluently in japanese? write in japanese? understand japanese? 話せる?書ける?分ける?ところで、日本人じゃないだろう..

*im turning into some evil nut*


peace!

And yet we fail to read the statement just after the bold

And yes I can read kana (and some kanji, not the ones in the album's title however.) And yeah, I'm speaking on behalf of everyone, because this is one of those abundant times where I'm in the right. The majority here can't just intuitively read japanese characters, yet all can read roman characters --its all about being inclusive.

And picking a fight with Frex historically isn't the greatest decision a poster can do (and it is kinda funny how its happened exactly before, now that i think about it.)

Reacting in this needlessly uptight way against the use of an original title (ie, title, not in a text) (one of the true major titles) is needlessly uptight. But, I guess I don't care. I just can't edit the title here.

That's below the belt!

I think it's a better idea to start distrusting someone when they not only ask for power (and more of it once they have some), but also when they ask for increasing amounts of secrecy.

I voted for Marunouchi Sadistic. Actually when I listen to MM, I usually listen to only first 4 songs and skip all the other songs.

*edit : Oh, I'm sorry. I was a bit off-topic, different from above comments.
on-topic : then how about using both kanji(japanese) and romanji? *
