::You can find a mention of this phrase [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/942863-dance-dance-revolution-disney-channel-edition/faqs/49806 here] and [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228493/fullcredits here]. IMDb [ | ::You can find a mention of this phrase [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps2/942863-dance-dance-revolution-disney-channel-edition/faqs/49806 here] and [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0228493/fullcredits here]. IMDb [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0619958/ gives the literal translation] as "For My Daughter's Seventh Birthday". My limited understanding of the language tells me that, out of the three significant words in that phrase, "nanatsu" is "seven" or "seventh", and "oiwai" is probably "birthday", leaving "konoko" to mean "daughter" or "my daughter". This is quite interesting. Once again I am astounded at the beneficial coincidence that "Konoko" can mean something significant even though Brent Pease, in the interview linked to above, claims it 'just popped into my [non-Japanese-knowing] head'. I would really like to know whether the "konoko" in the title means "daughter" or "my daughter", but I'm guessing it's just plain "daughter". | ||
