A last second thought about a new S/Mileage name:

S/Mile Deka (Smile police)

It at least passed the Google test.

Also on a S/Mileage note: I think Sasaki is another shape shifting dog/racoon. When she was told she was in S/Mileage she was so surprised that she started to henshin back to normal and she had to hold back her face with her hands to keep this from happening.

About the name, here's what 2nd gen thinks:

In another change of subject, they decide to talk about what their new group name should be. Meimi is eager to share her idea, which is “MeiMei to sorotta oozei group,” or “MeiMei and the large group.” Her idea is rejected. Kananan suggests, “Tenshi Kana with 8,” “Angel Kana with 8.” No one comments. She also suggests, “2ki members with….(1,2,3,4) 5!” as a backup. Meimi continues this line of thinking with, “AMeRiKa with…. with… (1,2,3,4,) 5.” Kananan also suggests the name of the radio show, SS1422, which is read like “S/mileage Station ichiou ni-nin,” “S/mileage Station with 2 members for the time being.” Meimi doesn’t like this because then the radio show would have to change its name, which she does not want. She thinks that if 3rd gen take over the radio show it will become Sasaki Station, which none of them want. They scold themselves briefly for being bad senpai, but then they think harder about new names.

Takechan: I think English would be good
Rinapuu: Yeah, English is cool and easy to remember.
Meimi: Something like Jackson 5 would be neat.
Rinapuu: Ew, what is that?

Kananan comes up with an idea based on her vague knowledge of other languages from doing Warera, Jeanne and comes up with the name Straight Tea, which they decide is a little too difficult for them to say. Meimi asks if kanji would be okay, which leads to a gasp or two from Rinapuu. Meimi explains that Takechan is actually really good at making kanji logos and think she could do something with their new name if it has kanji in it. The whole time they discuss this, Rinapuu repeats in the background, “English is fine, English is fine, English is fine.” Takechan concludes this topic by saying that they don’t care how it’s written or what language it’s in, they just want a cool name.

Wow, none of my suggestions seem dumb now.

Can we petition for S/mileage to change to Jackson 5? Please.
