Some Frequently Asked Questions

What’s with the name “Tsunami.No.Ai”?

In high-school (c. 2000) I was big into this new thing I’d been exposed to called “anime.” Around the time our family got our first hosted domain with our ISP, I got to choose a subdomain for myself. Having just watched the original Tenchi Muyo OVA, I wanted “tsunami” in the name. It was taken, of course, so being a romantic, I added “noai” to the end. It was a play on words, “tsunami no ai” meaning (incorrectly) “tsunami of love” in Japanese. I was a teenager, what can I say? Not too long after, I found out that the correct phrase would be “ai no tsunami” and that “tsunami no ai” would mean “love of tsunamis.” It must have been a sign of not wanting to fool with DNS records that I kept it ever since.
