[edit] Romanization

Isn't the romaji name of this album 'Ootori'? That's how it's transliterated on most sites that sell it, as well as Maximum the Hormone's official site. Kiyura (talk) 18:49, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

I've also wondered about this issue, but it turns out, that transliteration is something propagated by fan-created sites, which later became accepted by other credible websites. I don't see anywhere on the official site that gives the romanization as Ootori. When looking at filenames for the album cover, it is represented as "Hou" and I believe, as explained somewhere by another editor, the (ほう) portion is an instance of furigana (a hiragana guide to pronunciation of a given kanji). I never noticed this until a few weeks ago though. I hope this all helps! --Jacob ^Talk 22:27, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
