    Hey all,
     
    Just a heads up to anyone that may be visiting Japan in the next year or so. If you'd like to meetup with me sometime in Higashi Tokyo and or want a tour of Akiba which I now know like the back of my hand, feel free to hit me up. I'd be more than happy to suggest some awesome eateries and help you get settled in the country for whatever reason you are coming.
     
    In addition, if you ever need a place to stay during my time off, let me know and I'd be more than willing to spot you a location in Makuhari (near Chiba) for a few days or so.

    Random thoughts: Love Live titles make no sense
     
    It's not uncommon to hear people say Japan is bad with foreign languages.
    It seems that the Japanese have this axiom of randomly pushing foreign words into whatever song they're trying to sell and people always enjoy it.
    Yet if you analyze pretty much any song that's mass produced, especially in the idol industry, you'll quickly realize how dumb most of the titles really are.
    So let's go through a bunch of Love Live songs and take appart their titles to see which make sense and which don't.
     
    Note I'm only going to go over the best album songs, I may do it again for individual singles but I cba right now.
    Also this is not meant to bash Love Live, just the fact that Japan doesn't have a knack for naming and it really shows.
    Lastly I could nitpick at more songs for several other reasons, but I decided to simply stick with how poorly the titles are written.
     
    1. Yuujou no Change
    Starting things off great with a title that doesn't know if it wants to be Japanese or English.
    Yuujou means "friendship", so far so good right? But then you have "no".
    "no" in Japanese is a posessive particle, so if you were the apply the posessive rules it would either be "Change of friendship" or "Friendship's change".
    Wait what? That doesn't make any sense does it? Yep, because the "no" is not a Japanese no, it's the English negation particle "no"
    So Yuujou is Japanese and "no change" is English. Friendship no change... yep, still broken. 
    The goal here was to go with "Friendship doesn't change" which in Japanese could simply be "Yuujou kawaranai" (doesn't that sound 10 times more appealing?), but all they mustered was broken English grammar.
     
    2. Baby Maybe Koi no Botan
    Again trying to shove English where it doesn't make any sense.
    "Koi no Botan" simply means "Love's button" or "Button of love", which sounds fine since botan is a borrowed word in Japanese.
    But why the hell is "Baby maybe" there? It makes no sense. There's no way to fit it in the title and make sense.
    "Baby maybe, love's button". What the hell does that even mean? The song only ever mentions "baby maybe" twice and it's in the background while they're going "Zuttooooo~"
    Japan pls.
     
    3. Sweet&Sweet Holiday
    This one is completely in English so there's no need to take it appart.
    Now why are you using sweet twice? Couldn't it just be "Sweet Holiday"? Wouldn't that make twice as more sense while using half the words?
    How is something sweet and sweet?
    As Maki would put it: イミワカンナイ
     
    4. A-NO-NE-GA-N-BA-RE!
    W-Why? Why all the caps? Why the dashes? What's the point?
    For those who don't know, the proper spelling would be "Anone ganbare" 
    "anone" is a set expression that means something like "listen here" in English, basically a call out for someone to pay attention to you, and "ganbare" means "do your best"
    Why not just use the proper spelling? Stop making things more complicated for us.
     
     
    5. Aishiteru Banzai
    For starters, "aishiteru" means "I love you".
    I'm sure you're all familiar with the word "banzai" and how it's used, so how does it make any sense to put it after this sentence?
    Do you ever picture yourself saying "I love you! Banzai!" to your loved one? Yeah, me neither. And worst of all is that they just nonchantantly say "banzai", it's not even your average "hooray!", it really doesn't make any sense for it to be there other than to make the lyrics' metrics work. This is a horrible habit that Japan has.
     
    6. Daring!!
    This one is probably the worst offender.
    Unless you're familiar with the song, you've already most likely read the title wrong if you're an English speaker.
    It's supposed to be "Darling", but "Darling" in Japanese would be ダーリン (Daarin), but that's if you're spelling it with kanas! If you're going to use latin letters, why the hell do you not spell the word "darling" properly! And even if you were to transcribe kanas, there's no "G" at the end!
    This title is the worst misspelling in Love Live history. I'm so sorry you were forced to be part of it, Maki.
     
     
    Now, out of all the songs in the album, 6 poorly titled ones isn't a horrible number, but really there was no reason for this. I really suggest you start focusing on proper Japanese titles, Love Live.
