Have you ever wondered how would you be called if you were the other sex? Well, Sono of Matenrou Opera has recently made a post in his blog, in which he made up the female name versions of the members’ names:
Sono – Sonoko
Anzi – Anko
Ayame – Ayako
Yo – Youko
Yu – Yuuko
Hmm, I wish I had a Japanese name as well, so I could experiment in my free time and find out how would I be called if I were a female Big Ernie, haha!
