The roots of our name, "The Oceanboom"

Our name is a combination of one honorific Japanese prefix, two English words and one Japanese word:
"O", "Ocean", "boom" and "Shinbun"(sheen-boon).

1) "Shinbun" is the Japanese word for "newspaper".
2) In many cases in Japanese, when placing an "O" as a prefix to a noun, the "O" makes the noun honorific. Therefore, an Oshinbun has a more erudite and upper echelon sound to it than just a plain ole, run of the mill shinbun. Also, the "O" stands for "ongaku" which is Japanese for "music".
3) We decided to incorporate the ocean theme into our name for two reasons. First, it is used as a response to our very ocean-centered environment here in Japan. Second, the word "ocean" and the "O-Shin" of O-Shinboon sound quite similar phonetically.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
