Two-Letter Abbreviations

From Dank via Wikimedia Commons

Look at all those abbreviations in the United States. Makes things rather compact, don't they? Well, it's time for a bit of whimsy here on "Kayo Kyoku Plus" today as this thought came to my mind for the latest Author's Picks. I think they're rare enough but there are some Japanese songs that have two-letter abbreviations in their titles, so why not give a few out?

(1975) Eikichi Yazawa -- I Love You, OK(アイ・ラヴ・ユー、OK)


(1981) Yellow Magic Orchestra -- U.T.


(1990) Denki Groove -- N.O.


(1990) Pink Sapphire -- P.S. I Love You


(2018) Kirinji -- AI no Touhikou(AIの逃避行)

  1. Liked your choices especially "(1990) Pink Sapphire -- P.S. I Love You." They remind me a little of Princess Princess.

    1. Thanks. Pink Sapphire and Princess Princess were contemporaries for a few years, so it was interesting seeing them release songs side by side.
