Bro, the names sounds like a stereotypical asian accent when pronounced (e.g. L becoming R, adding syllables randomly). that's the joke...

Best examples:
Anakire-Gabaru (Toronto)
Furutire-Shokin (Michigan)
Gabaru-Rangire (New York)

oh. yeah haha that's how japanese transliteration works. an "asian accent" is what happens when someone used to a language where almost every consonant comes with an accompanying vowel tries to speak one where that's not the case.


well this has been a wonderfully embarrassing experience, but i'm glad y'all enjoyed the japanese.
