I don't know to be honest. The only thing that kept me going about the scans was that I wanted to figure out Saaya's kanjis on my own. But now there are so many different versions of her name (including mine) that I want Toei to update the profile ASAP. "Kagayaki Homare", I guess I can get used to Homare. But Kagayaki just sounds... even more Fancure-y than everything else in HUGtto. For the past two years Hibiki and I have tried to tell people "Japanese names aren't that..." and now Toei comes around like "yo, Kagayaki sounds stupid but who even cares" x.x

I already felt like that when Ciel's name was revealed "Kirahoshi"... I mean they could have given her a French name if they wanted her to seem foreign but that... uh well.

I'm still glad that I went to rename almost everything in Sky. Piror this September I had names used that sounded cringe but I was afraid of changing them because... well the Sky wiki has 1,190+ pages after all and what I was changing where main characters. I'm glad I did it in the end, it all sounds a lot better now. And last month I even changed the given names. Compare original name with updated name:


 * (Old) - (New)
 * Akahane Ruby - Akabayashi Rubi
 * Kiishi Topaz - Yuuki Ririan (actually Lilian, yet her name is written with kanjis)
 * Mikanki Amber - Tachibana Amber
 * Midorikusa Emerald - Minotori Ema
 * Aomizu Sapphire - Aoba Sapphie
 * Shirosora Diamond - Amashiro Kiyomi *
 * Koshokukoi Rubllit - Momozaki Rikka
 * Murasakiiro Amethyst - Itou Ami
 * Kuraisoba Quartz - Nobumoto Rosuke
 * Yoiki Chris - Takagi Chris
 * Kurigami Yumi - Kisaragi Yumi
 * Rainbow Angel - Grand Angel Iris

* Even though Japanese people don't have middle names, Kiyomi's middle name is "Diamond". I had to keep "Dia" as her name for many reasons. One is that I don't wanna stop calling her Dia
