Prelude of Not-Love

[wao_wao]

Suzuki-sensei, I don't know who taught you about English naming conventions, but I want to bash them over the head. Repeatedly. I've dealt with your bullshit before, but this is ridiculousSomeone else mess with it. I can't make any more sense of them

Could Dolfy be a pet name of Rudolf or (oh please no) Adolph? Snandey and Neuce I have absolutely nothing on. I just... what?

[wao_wao]

They just make up names. I swear to god, they just put random strings of katakana together thinking it sounds foreign whether or not it makes any amount of sense.

[dramaturgca]

Yeah, running down that list... Gyle? Mauro? Keelay? Ahya? Sisty? I don't live that far from Santa Monica (p.s. what's with the sudden fascination in Zuka with Southern and Central California? Emperor and Journalist, PW2, Paradise Prince... now this one...) but I can't think of anyone with names like that. They're close to actual names (mostly) but far enough off to be totally wrong. *facepalm*

::edit:: I also find it interesting/disturbing that after Ai no Prelude, 1/3 of the otokoyaku in New Generation will have retired.

[wao_wao]

Mauro, at least, is a genuine Italian name. The rest are pretty much bogus, yeah. :\

...how impossible is it to get Isolabella tickets on the regular way? T_T (70 seats??? Are you kidding me T___T ... though maybe there even are less than 70 people who would like to see a Tomoyo show...)

[wao_wao]

Have hope! There are two performances, so that's 140 people, and if those two days sell out fast they sometimes add a third show :) Ayumi-san got 3 days, and so did Ichika, and probably many others ^^

Here's your usual facetious comment by Angela.

I hope the next Suzuki-sensei show has someone named, like, Turd Ferguson. Or Mike Rotch.

*giggle* Watch, one of the half-American girls will suggest that as a name for one of their douki as a practical joke.

舞宮ラッチ
Dancing Shrine Rotch. Brilliant.

I'm... pretty sure he's a gamer, or that he gets a lot of his name ideas from video games. Some of them, like システィー, also popped up as the name of a company in Hyogo.

I don't know, I think it's nice when there aren't 53 variations of "Ann" in the cast list. ;)

"Snandey" ... I wonder if it's supposed to be Hindi? It would be shocking to see a multi-cultural America, though. ;)

Oh, Holly. I feared it. Any place that can name their man male character "Joy" can't worry about sinking any lower. *grins*

[wao_wao]

Well I see you made at least a little more sense out of it, although I maintain that Giles is not pronounced the same way as "guile"...

It would be shocking to see a multi-cultural America, though. ;)

I thought about that, with names like "Keelay" etc. If it did happen, I would give Suzuki-sensei some of his cool points back. ;P

Any place that can name their man male character "Joy" can't worry about sinking any lower.

And they did it TWICE. *hangs head*

(P.S. So someone added the 2010 special to all the troupe performance pages... Would you agree that it shouldn't be there?)

[caithion]

although I maintain that Giles is not pronounced the same way as "guile"...

I agree, but sometimes they seem to think that that last consonant sound isn;t really necessary. I googgled and found a bunch of different ways that people were katakanizing it, so.....

Have you been following the thread in the TakaWiki editors forum? I'm afraid I got outvoted on this, but I refuse to pick up th extra work, so I'm ignoring it.

[wao_wao]

Ah hah. Editor's forum? Me? Ever? I don't know why I'm so allergic to the forums, but I pretty much ignore them if I'm not specifically asked about something.

I suppose there's no point in saying what *I* would have voted, unless... can we ask for a re-count? T____T;;;

Well after Anabelle and Christopher Creme in silver Rose Chronicle I'm ready for anything regarding names. But serioulsy some names seem picked by throwing darts to katakana cards . They also need a bit of help with geography since they are using songs in Spanish for Nova Bossa Nova which take splace in Brazil the only Portuguese speaking country in America , dear Hankyu even if Spanish and Portuguese are related they are not the same thing. That is why I propose that one of us has to go and be their languague and geography advisor .

[wao_wao]

one of us has to go and be their languague and geography advisor .

If this job existed, I totally would have applied for it while I was in Japan >___<;;;

I don't think "Creme" is nearly the worst surname in Zuka history, though. Aside from the mangled English names, I've heard the French, Italian etc can be equally ridiculous.

[rouen81]

You should have seen the lughs I had when I saw the Zorro dvd: no mariachis don't dress like that those are Oaxacan hats, dear indians I don't thin you´ll be able to find buffalo in California and I don't know why you spoke Sioux words, it is pronounced Zorro not Zoro. But it was a good dvd and I enjoyed it.

Too bad there is no language and geography advisor jod ;__;
