These are my works

This is play to translate an English band name into Japanese. It is really funny!! When the cool band name translates into Japanese, it become very nerdy! However, I can't explain it in English.


There are a lot of other works of Japanese Twitter users.
It cannot enjoy this wordplay if not well versed in both English and Japanese. The global wordplay is difficult!


By the way, there are a lot of foreigners carving Tattoo of the kanji to a body. Say honestly, they look very nerdy when the Japanese sees.
