Yes, in fact many people in Japan do think that movie is titled "Road of the Rings".
And...the movie "Hurt Locker" is thought to be either "Heart Locker" or "Heart Rocker" by many people.
Also, many think the KISS song "Hard Luck Woman" is "Hard Rock Woman".

Yes, "home" and "form" (short for "platform") are two of many foreign words that are spelled the same when written in Japanese characters but differently when written in English.

Some others:

heart / hurt
road / load / lord
luck / rock
bus / bath

Thanks for linking to my post.
I didn't know you looked at it...you should've left a comment! (It's still not too late! ;) )

You did leave a comment on my "Back To The '80s" post...thanks.

With it's bright yellow color, I think it looks like C C Lemon (which I don't like)...so I've never tried it.

So you've left Japan. Miss it yet? ;)

I've never been to a wedding nor a funeral ceremony in America...only in Japan.
I only know about American weddings and funerals from what I've seen in Hollywood movies!

You should stay here permanently. After a number of years, America begins to become the "foreign country". ;)
