[09/26] Kikkawa Yuu 5th Single「Darling to Madonna」

[Chatin]

Cover A is hot.

[esm]

I love both A & B, but I reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy wish they would stop writing her name as "You".

[Mirai]

Yeah, it's a cute pun, but still jarring to see.

[wotakubrandon]

Isn't it just a stage name?

[Sohee]

It is. Or rather, just how they chose to romanize her name when performing. It's common over there after all. Some do U, some do Yu and some do You or Yuu. For anyone who's not a native English speaker it's probably not as annoying? I mean, I speak the language but it doesn't bother me the slightest lol.

[Starra]

Japanese romanisation is weird. I've seen U-ka for Yuuka, amongst others.

[esm]

It just looks like it's pronounced "Yo-" rather than "Yu-", but I suppose no one is really called "Yo-".

[Mirai]

Yeah, it looks like よう versus ゆう. But I stick to calling her "Kikka" to avoid that

[Amped]

10/7, Kikka will make an appearance at the Cosmos Festival in Saitama Institute of Technology

The Japanese way of actually saying よう is no way near "You" though. So they're obviously going for the English word "you" here. Since her name ゆう is pronounced similarly.
