Macross Frontier - (1st OP) Triangular

[Akiosama]

Hello all,

Quick fix/issue - I noticed today that the title of the first Opening Theme Song for Macross Frontier was translated as Triangler. In most of the translations I've seen for this title, and my own experience, I believe that the title of the song should be Triangular (as in "shaped like a triangle") and not Triangler (as in "one who is/makes a triangle"?).

Given the song is about a "sankaku kankei" (lit. "triangle relationship" - i.e. a three-way relationship), and that Triangular can also be sounded out of the original katakana word, I'm submitting this for alteration. (Note that this song title appears multiple times in the Macross Frontier section, and that all should be considered for consistency.)

Thank you,

Akiosama

The CD itself says 'Triangler' on the cover, in English.

Got it. Hadn't seen the Single cover - Macross Frontier OST 1 does not have that spelled out for reference.

Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: Quick question - Given the propensity for the Japanese to be inconsistent about how they're Romanizing their own 'borrowed words' and the propensity for making new words or misspelling/mistranslating existing English words/grammar, is the Japanese spelling always the preferred, or should there be some analysis of what the word seems like it should be that needs to be done before settling on an issue such as this?

What is written in the booklet would be the utmost preference since they are considered as the original source.
