This one is perfect. And all the issues you rised are real challenges. I
am sure, we are going to use this one excessively. So could you please do
me a favor and give us _transliterations_ to these names, so that we can
_talk_ about them. Babelfish gives me some quite unsatisfactory:
亀梨和也 = turtle pear Kazuya (turtle pear?, how do you pronounce that in
Japanese?)
山下智久 = Yamashita Tomohisa
修二と彰 = learning/repairing two and Akira (uh?)
修二 = learning/repairing two (how do you _pronounce_ that?)
彰 = Akira
The rest is only context information.
I think you cannot imagine how helpful this is.
Thanks again
