Dentaku is Calculator in Japanese, and is also the correct title of the Kraftwerk track. Ongaku is Music in Japanese Nihon is Japan in Japanese. ("Mihon" may be an entirely different word, but it may also be a coloquial or bad translation to the roman alphabet - or Trance God's recollection of the spelling from memory? ;) someone else says Otaku is formal for You in Japanese, and has been ascribed to the cyber-demented youth in Japan. Another big thing related to the Japanese cyber movement which might as well get defined now is Manga, which are adult comic books with excessively violent, mysoginist and pornographic themes.

Hold on, there! The word "manga" does not describe anything violent, mysoginist or pornographic; it is simply what the Japanese call their comic books. Don't confuse the medium with the message! -- Mark Turner mturner@netcom.com

Could 'dentaku' also mean home/personal computer? Do they call an IBM PC 'dentaku'?

Ah so! Wakarimasu.

Chigaimasu - 'mihon' means 'sample'.

Yes, I hear that nearly everything is becoming the form of Manga - advertising, magazines, etc. 'Otaku' does mean home or household. Maybe this formal 'you' you are talking about is 'otoko' which means man or men, and somehow has become used in a subjective form. Afterall, we Americans say "man" a lot, like "Hey, man," or "Man, I wish I could go!" Who knows? -djkc
