As a translator of Japanese who has been living in Japan for over 10 years, I object to the translation of 'asobi seksu' as 'playful sex'. This is a simplistic direct translation which totally misses the socio-cultural nuance of the term in Japanese. Thus I have edited it as 'casual sex' in English which I feel is a much better expression of what the Japanese really means.

I am also a translator of Japanese. Been in Japan 10 years. I agree with Manualofstyle and was about to edit this myself when I saw his complaint. "Playful sex" is incorrect. (The problem being that more than likely, neither James nor Yuki natives of Japan, which is also why Asobi Seksu is incorrectly spelled in both Japanese and English. It should be Asobi Sekkusu.) "Casual sex" is correct. This needs to be addressed immediately. -- Made in DNA
I started a rewrite of the band description which was was clumsily written. Tried to add a bit of context to the 'shoegazing' classification. (rr) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rossriley ( talk • contribs) 22:08, 12 August 2007
Why does someone keep editing out my verified information about the previous name of the band. -- Kbhoyt 6, Oct 2007 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 07:59, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Removed these per WP:EL, they might still be useful as sources though:
