[78-L] Japanese in Berlin

[Birgit Lotz Verlag]

Chris writes: "Are you sure (from the content of the disc) about 
Japanese? The script does make sense in Chinese - read from right to 
left the characters are "bo lin chun qiu" in modern Pinyin 
transcription, where "bo lin" is a phonetical approximation of "Berlin", 
and "chun qiu" means "a year" or "four seasons". Not very helpful 
though.....

Certainly the Japanese do like to use Chinese script especially for 
formal purposes (like a record logo!), so maybe the words have a more 
specific expressiveness in Japanese...?"


No, I am not sure at all, as I neither speak, write or understand 
Chinese, nor Japanese for that matter. BUT to MY ears the singing is 
Japanese not Chinese...
