hi there,
i asked kind of the same question a wile ago, and i was really greatful with all the help i got, but this time i need help translating something a little differesnt.

i am an illustrator and i have produced a series of illusrations based on the "fruits"culture of harajuku girls. i took photos of girls dressed in fab clothes when i visited japan and decided to turn them into characters. Anyway, i have now decided to call the collection of illustrations "fruity cuties", thats what it is in english and i was just wondering if someone could translate it into japanese for me please the nearest they can. Id really love it in japanese characters so that i can incorporate them into my design. thank you soooo much and i look forward to a reply so that i can get on designing!!

Why not just do it "fruity cutie" in katakana?

フルーティー・キューティー

You mean a transliteration? like フルーティーキューティーズ? This is essentially the English name written in katakana.

D'oh, beat me to it ossan!

ossan included a ・ to indicate the word break between the two words; I put ズ at the end for the "s" at the end of the word. Otherwise they are the same.

Take what they gave you and replace the キ with ビ.
