Why is it romanized "Iwo jima" in america, when the japanese romanize it "Iou jima" (because thats how you pronounce ) |

| I'm not sure. But during the weekend I went shopping with some of my friends, and we were bored so we just dropped by a movie theatre to see what they had and they had letters of Iwo Jima! But I don't like war movies, and I don't think they do either or do they want to watch a movie all because the guy in their is from a band I like, lol, that they probably don't even know. But yeah... it was exciting for me to see that it's in theatres around here already. (Well, obviously I don't think it'll come to my lame town, and that theatre was like one of those individual ones not like the chain ones, I think, since it wasn't very big) |

Lol, it's more like Shota grew his hair!
I hate the new hair styles for all of them!!
I mean... like Oguri Shun's is OK... but I still liked it before (it's his hair is flatter now)... and Abe Tsuyoshi's is a bit too curly for my taste... and I never liked Jun's... but Shota!! WHYYY. Lol, I know that they made their looks further based on the manga for this season, but I think season one's fit like... the way real people look better... what I mean is, the manga's hairstyles look great for drawings, but season one's hair looks better when for real people... yeah it's confusing, lol...
OK I didn't even talk about Arashi in this post... |

I have a song for all of them:
このごろムカつく女の子
おつむの軽い女の子
こっちへおいてよ ハニー
だってなんだか
ちょっとうざいだもん
お願い お願い でしゃばらないで
私のハートは苛々しちゃうの！
イヤよ イヤよ イヤよ 隠れちゃ イヤー
スカーレットフラッシュ！
懲らすわよ！ |

| Well just the looks... Sho looks like a player but he isn't of course. He remains loyal to nish just like Ohno does to tsumetai.ame . |

Sorry this is a bit late...

In order to preserve the integrity of the 'i' and long 'o' ('ou') sounds, people chose to romanize 硫黄（いおう）as 'iwo'.
For many native-English-speakers, applying rules/conventions of English pronunciation, 'iou' would end up sounding more like 'eeyoh' or even 'yoh' (with a *hint* of an 'ee' sound going into the 'y', followed by a longish 'o' ending). The 'i' would be absorbed into the next sound, instead of standing in front.
Granted, a by-product of the change in romanization is people putting a lot of stress on the 'w', but even with that, it sounds closer to the real Japanese than what's outlined above...
Hope this makes sense.
