[edit] Takitty

I think the nickname Takitty is only used by foreign fans. This makes the comment "Her most well-known nickname, "Takitty"" misleading since it's not used by the Japanese fans. Anyone care to verify this? -Janihan 00:09, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I've seen plenty of American fans use it too. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've seen American fans refer to her with any other nickname. --CJ Marsicano 01:37, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

By foreign I mean not Japanese. Janihan 02:06, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree with it being mis-leading. It is not used by japanese people, and I think the Takitty name just stuck with foreign fans because it wasn't the generic "first name-chan" (eg; Ai-chan) that most members have. I think Ai-chan is quite common among foreigners as well. Sploggers 23:17, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I misunderstood Janihan's first comment. Sorry about that, chief. I went ahead and clarified the paragraph in question. --CJ Marsicano 02:13, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Never heard about "Takitty." The artist's nickname also has to be wide-known or being recognized by the artist herself. As you know, the members of morning musume have lots of nicknames called by fans in Japan, and some of them are brutal. I don't think those can be recorded in Wiki.
