Talk:Ho-kago Tea Time (Song)/@comment-30764484-20130429233214/@comment-3261234-20130430090056

Well, the japanese name of the song is written exactly like the one of the band, and the band's was never referred to as "Houkago" on the album covers, it was "Ho-Kago" every time, thus making that part of the name official. About the "Tea Time" part...that one is written in katakana, which is also often used to write japanese with a foreign (in this case, english) touch. The direct translation would be as you wrote it, but it was not meant to be like that, it was more like a little joke so the japanese would read it and think: "man, that almost sounds english...wait a minute, it IS english, just written in japanese lol".

If we wanted to translate everything literaly, we would have a lot of work coming at us...and I also don't really like the way the names are like then. For example, "Let's Go" would be "Retsuu Goo", "Pure Pure Heart" would be "Pyua Pyua Haato" and "Love Crisis" would be "Rabu Kuraisisu". I would not be able to see the true name in that gibberish.
