Japanese Name for a Music Band

Koi · May 20, 2004, 13:33

Hi folks, very nice forum this one! I'm from Brazil, and have always been interested in japanese culture, language, tv shows, music, etc, but it's a bit difficult finding good sources of information here where I live, specially since I can't read japanese, and it's not very common finding a person to talk about japanese topics, unfortunately.

Right now I'm having a lot of trouble trying to come up with an interesting japanese name for a music band. I was thinking about "Kitsu Daileon" or "Katsu Daileon" (kitsu means "right" I guess, while katsu is "to win", and Daileon is the name of a robot from an old metal hero tv show called "Juspion"). I don't even know if these names makes sense, they just sounds cool, are they any good ? Also, can anyone help with other nice names, if possible short (2, 3 words), somewhat easy to pronounce, and catchy ? I'm open to any kind of suggestions or ideas, huge thanks!

the weekend for a lot of people to get on and answer.Also
the majority of people on the Forum and not Japanese.
Anyway, give it till Monday to see if more people reply.
There is a book of neat sounding words you might use to find a name called "Nihongo Pera Pera!" by
Susan Millington. You might have to order it where you live in Brazil? In US dollars it was about $10.00.There is a fellow on the Forum called "Winter" who knows a great deal about bands, he has one he plays bass in. I will send
him a message to see if he can help you. Good Luck!!

Kitsu is virtually unheard of as 'healthy' or 'correct' and unlikely to get the kind of response you're looking for. As Frank said, though, a bona fide professional should be on the case shortly, by the middle of next week at the latest.

Thx for the tips! I'll try to get the book, sounds like it might help

At the moment the only references I'm using are these:
http://www.freelang.net/dictionary/japanese.html
http://www.animelab.com/anime.manga/dictionary

But it's not easy choosing the appropriate words without knowing the basics of japanese. I'll probably have to "guess" some more names like I did, and see.
