Because it fucking sucks to have your name mispronounced 9 out of 10 times and furthermore, have it misspelled by people who can't spend 3 more seconds to check how they spelled a foreign name.
Yeah, well, try being a linguistic minority in your "own" country, and people are still not able to spell your name correctly.. Not even Scruffy can pronounce my surname right!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
