It's probably worth noting that the text above "Kiss-Players" in the logo, キスぷれ (KISUPURE) is actually "Kiss-Play", and not what the subtitle would suggest. I have no idea what that means in regard to what this damn line is actually called. --[[User:Suki Brits|Suki Brits]] 21:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
: Aha. So there are two potential names, and the article is named neither of them. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 01:31, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
: Fixed. [[User:Evan1975|Evan1975]] 05:37, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
: This should probably be KissPlay or Kiss Play, with a note indicating that "Kiss Players" appears in English below the title logo.

::Based on the layout of the logo, and the fact that it appears there in English, I'm inclined to take "Kiss Players" as the intended English title. Is that dumb of me? Do Japanese product logos often have an almost-identical English rendering side-by-side with the Japanese name just for the sake of coolness, and not indicating anything meaningful? --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 15:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

:::It's not dumb at all, but I'd go for Kiss Play, the one we know for sure is right, since there's a long and sordid history of mis-Anglicizations in Japanese names and logos. The alternative is to call Marissa "Melissa", Autrooper "Autor/looper", etc.

::"キスぷれ" would be considered a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_abbreviated_and_contracted_words|Japanese abbreviation]. If it was supposed to actually be "Kiss Play" it would be キスぷれい or キスぷれー.　[[User:Evan1975|Evan1975]] 06:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
::Historically, that would be correct. However, there has been a modern trend of leaving out the trailing dash. "Cosplay" ("costume play"), from which "Kiss Play" is almost certainly derived, doesn't have it either: コスプレ

In response to Steve-o's question two months ago: I'm not sure how common it is, but the logo for the anime [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futari_wa_Pretty_Cure Pretty Cure] says "purikyua" ("precure"), with the English text "Pretty Cure" underneath. In the series, it is consistently pronounced "puriti kyua," but when one of the characters spells it out she says "pu ri kyu a." I don't know ''why'' this was done, but it seems that the given English title is the series's "real" name. I strongly suspect that the discrepancy between "kisupure" and "Kiss Players" is a similar situation, given that "Kiss Players" refers to something of importance within the series. --[[User:Andrusi|Andrusi]] 18:13, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Did It's Walky! predict Kiss Players years before it happened? I'll let you decide: http://www.itswalky.com/d/20010617.html - [[User:67.172.162.93|67.172.162.93]] 13:52, 1 February 2007 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

In the interest of not having the parenthetical tag be the same as the article name, I propose moving "Moon" to "Moon (BW2)" and this article to "Moon." - [[User:Dark T Zeratul|Dark T Zeratul]] 06:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
:That works for me. Either that, or have it at something like "Earth's Moon." Although I do find [[Moon (moon)]] amusing. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 06:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
::I like Moon (moon). --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 17:22, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
:::Can we at least move the bunny to "Moon (BW2)" and make just plain "Moon" redirect here, then? Because this is a far more common use of Moon than she is. - [[User:67.172.162.93|67.172.162.93]] 20:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>
