So are we going to go with "long live" or stick with "banzai" in the lyrics' case? I'm pretty neutral, but "long live" would be for those that don't know a lick of Japanese (even with the note at the bottom). --[[User:Lonegamer78|Lonegamer78]] 10:53, 22 September 2009 (EDT) | So are we going to go with "long live" or stick with "banzai" in the lyrics' case?

"Banzai" vs "long live"
