Talk:Non-chan Kumo ni Noru

Untitled
This is a minor point, but the page currently reads, "literally: Nobuko Rides on a Cloud". Indeed, kumo ni noru is literally "ride on a cloud," but Non-chan is a nickname for someone named Nobuko or Nobue or Nobuhisa, ad infinitum. According to IMDB the film is "Also known as: Nobuko Rides on a Cloud (Japan: English title)". Perhaps "also known as" would be better than "literally"? Cnilep (talk) 21:38, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your note. I think that everywhere on IMDB "(Japan: English title)" means literally. On IMDB "Also Known As:" is a name for a section with various film names. If IMDB is all right, then "literally" is OK in this case. (I can not distinguish these linguistic details by myself.) --Snek01 (talk) 23:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if I understand your point. I don't think that "(Japan: English title)" means literally, at least not in all cases. For example, the film Nagurimono is listed as "aka Nagurimono: The Fighter (Japan: English Title)", and Primary Colors as "aka Perfect Couple (Japan: English title)". Non-chan kumo ni noru is literally "Non-chan rides on a cloud". Presumably the character's given name is Nobuko. Of course, as I said, that's a very minor difference; it may indeed be OK in this case. Cnilep (talk) 20:21, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
