[edit] Running All Night

The album Running All Night is currently listed as "ランニング☆オールナイトッ!!, ranningu ☆ ooru naitoo." From what I know of the Japanese language, a small tsu (っ or ッ) means the consonant is doubled, or said twice, but I've never seen it at the end of a word. I found an example of this at Wikiversity (here). On the other hand, vowels can be extended by using either う, い, or あ after the vowel in hiragana, or ー in katakana. "Naitoo" would literally be ナイトオ, but would more appropriately be ナイトー (naito-) because it's written in katakana. "Night" is actually ナイト (naito). There's extra "o" at the end of "naito" because of Japanese pronunciation and limits on kana. The "o" wouldn't be pronounced in English. Why would Sharpnel want to extend a vowel on an English word that shouldn't have the vowel in the first place? Would the tsu extend the vowel sound, or cut it off? --Piroteknix (talk) 03:39, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
