Exactly.

I don't call the brilliant green "buriguri". I just call them how they called themselves, the brilliant green. As for other J-artists, I don't really have a problem with their names. I find it easier to pronounce Japanese words since I talk French.

The only artist I always mess up the name is Namie Amuro, I always say Na-Mee... instead of Na-Mee-E haha
