Talk:Kyoto Jazz Massive

Spelling Shūya instead of Shuya
No reference is needed for correcting a wrong spelling of a Japanese name if that name is correctly spelled in the Japanese Wikipedia. The fact that Okino doesn't use the Macron on the Kyoto Jazz Massive website has no encyclopedic relevance. --Bernardoni (talk) 14:44, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello I appreciate what you are saying, but based on the references available on this page, I have not seen the name spelled with a macron anywhere. In order to justify its use, could you provide a reliable source that demonstrates that it is appropriate? Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 15:40, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, that's not so easy since even English language publications in Japan don't use macrons. In Wikipedia, they are sometimes used and sometimes not, and in some cases they are only used in the transcription of the Japanese name, see . This becomes outright strange if in the article on former Japanese prime minister Shinzō Abe macrons are used for his deputy Tarō Asō but not for himself.


 * The only source I can offer you is the Japanese version of Wikipedia but since the use of the macron is so inconsistent in the English version, we might as well leave it like it is.


 * Anyway, great group, isn't it? And thanks for the exchange! --Bernardoni (talk) 18:43, 21 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi it does sound complicated, from what you say, but it seems I am out of my depth on this topic, whereas you appear to know what you're talking about, so I will concede to you. I've only listened to Spirit of the Sun and yes, I do enjoy it from time to time, although it isn't a go-to album for me, if you know what I mean. Would you say that's their best?
