psikyo japanese spelling/symbols

Post by nash87 »

Can someone link me to a big pic of the japanese spelling of psikyo? I've came across 2 different spellings, i think, unless one of them is just a logo or something. 1 way is comprised of 2 symbols which seems to be the actual spelling, and the other I recall as just 1 big symbol, unless they were just squished together or something.

the reason being is I won a free tattoo (of a limited size w/o color), and well, it got me thinking. i was going to give it away, but I'm not sure now

Hmm there must be a problem with my translation engine ;)

Of course GP's / Lordstar's is right. Interesting choice of characters.

Why those two kanji? I'm curious if there's an entertaining explanation to it. :)

It's short for 彩アート京都 - Sai Art Kyoto, Sai meaning colourful etc. Also very popular in girls' names, where it's pronounced Aya.

I always thought their name was a play on "Saikyo" and "Psycho." >_>

I will always maintain their second loops are psycho, regardless. :mrgreen:

I think you're still right. The kanji can mean whatever the hell but the English transliteration clearly is punning :)
