Trivia

The title "Me ni wa Aoba Yama Hototogisu Hatsukoi" is derived from the old Japanese Haiku "Me ni wa Aoba, Yama Hototgisu, Hatsu Katsuo" that explains that upon seeing the appearance of Fresh Leaves and the chirping of the Mountain Cuckoo and the Skipjack Tuna (Bonito) is a sign that the early summer days has come. Hototogisu should not be confused with another Japanese word "Yama Hototogisu" which is an orchid that blooms in Autumn. The word "Hototgisu" is now obsolete in Japan and its new pronunciation is "Kakkou"
