I've been following the Russian team and they think that names using a foreign alphabet are confusing and difficult for others who haven't studied that language. And I think they have a point. Besides, following the alphabet is not very creative. We can do better than that.
They are trying to pick something that is recognizable to everyone as being Russian. It looks like they are going for MIR. And I thought maybe we should pick something that everyone will recognize as Japanese and which is written in the Latin alphabet so that they know what it is says. Any ideas? Not kamikaze, although as one of the Russian team members pointed out, MIR also crashed and burned. Or at least burned. And it does fit the "annihilation" part of the challenge. We should probably stay away from atomic bombs as well. We could be samurai or ninjas. They are pretty good at annihilating things.

But I associate these words in romanised form (along with kawaii, sugoi, baka, etc.)
with weebs, and weebs are the most annoying people you can find. And this is a site filled with language nerds; foreign scripts just adds to the language nerdery. :p 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Obviously I have no voice here, but even if this is a site for nerds, the rest of us do not know Japanese. How
do we cheer for a team we cannot even pronounce? Go team &@? I would love to see the different team names reflect something essential to that culture, which is immediately identifiable for the rest. My first team was called team я. Genuine. Yes. Catchy. Absolutely not. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well "u" isn't that hard to pronounce :-) I suppose there are only five vowels so in 2016 the team would have been in trouble anyway :-( Would "Team muzukashii" be any better? Or does it have to be something like "Team Meiji"? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
