Talk:Tokyo Jihen

2009
Why does this redirect to Tokyo Incidents? No one calls this band Tokyo Incidents. Almost four times as many Google hits for "Tokyo Jihen." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.57.148.213 (talk) 23:29, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree, not because google hits but because I didn't think we translated names. also, even though tokyo jihen is one of my favourite bands, i didn't understand "tokyo incidents" until i read that they were the same (even though I knew what jihen means...)Kanjo Kotr (talk) 14:41, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I agree, it's ridiculous, nobody calls them Tokyo Incidents. By the same twisted logic the Kraftwerk page should be redirected to Power Station. Yaguchi (talk) 00:55, 12 February 2010 (UTC)


 * They call themselves Tokyo Incidents, sometimes. If you look at the Adult-album cover art, you can clearly see Tokyo Incidents there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Diamon (talk • contribs) 20:51, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Because they refered to themselves, especially later in their lifetime, as Tokyo Incidents. It's all over their videos, on their stage, and even on their physical goods. Chances are pretty good that people who saw them on Youtube or elsewhere could very much now them as this specifically because it was one of the ways the band branded themselves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.101.51.37 (talk) 03:27, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: No consensus; an argument is made here that English sources use the untranslated name. ErikHaugen (talk &#124; contribs) 05:39, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

– WP:MJ and WP:ENGLISH dictate that we should use an official English names of a band, album or song over top of their local name if they exist. On their official website and many releases, Tokyo Incidents is prominently displayed (websites:, releases: .) English names also exist officially for Kyōiku , Dai Hakken and "Nōdōteki Sanpunkan". Tokyo Jihen is the most common name among the English fanbase, but it seems strange to ignore official band releases.
 * Tokyo Jihen → Tokyo Incidents
 * Tokyo Jihen discography → Tokyo Incidents discography
 * Kyōiku → Education (album)
 * Dai Hakken → Discovery (Tokyo Incidents album)
 * Nōdōteki Sanpunkan → 3min.

At the moment, pages are a mix of Tokyo Jihen and Tokyo Incidents. One consistent style should be decided on. Prosperosity (talk) 04:25, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose all - per use in English sources. A similar search shows that the band name is not translated. WP:MJ and WP:ENGLISH also say don't invent English where it doesn't exist. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:50, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

About ”Ukigumo”
On this article, the guitarist are referred to as ”Ukigumo”, while the cover of the latest EP "News" says ”UKIGMO”. Do you mind if I edit it? Hectometere (talk) 07:14, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
