Talk:Ren'ai Sentai Shitsu Ranger/@comment-131168-20150528184302

Title translation talk: I see here (and at Project Hello) the English translation of the title is given as "Love Squadron Ranger". However, that's what you'd get from just "Ren'ai Sentai Ranger", so I was curious about that Shitsu in there. There are multiple words shitsu alone could be: room, wife, quality. None seem obvious fits. However, since I was checking this with the Rikaichan browser plugin, it also picked up on "Shitsuren" meaning "disappointed love; broken heart; unrequited love; being lovelorn". That seems more like a fit for the lyrics of this song--and really quite a few Tsunku songs.

So I'm thinking the title is a bit of wordplay, shitsuren + renjaa (ranger) being combined, which is also why the shitsu part is in katakana to match. If this is the case, should we change the way we title the single and song? Though Ren'ai Sentai Shitsurenjaa is a lot uglier. A similar case that comes to mind is Aisu Cream to My Purin, where the beginning is a play on ice cream but spelled with a love kanji. In this case there's no kanji to be accurate to, though, so maybe the current way is fine and it's just the translated meaning that should be tweaked.
