Talk:Doobie Wah!/@comment-63.131.220.156-20150424120253/@comment-1909681-20150427052745

Whoever keeps changing this, please stop. I wrote this as Doobie Wow for a reason when I scanlated it and I spent a lot of time researching it.

The name is a variant on Peter Frampton's song Doobie Wah, which in katakana is written DIFFERENTLY as ドゥービー・ワー. (Source: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%95%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%83%97%E3%83%88%E3%83%B3%E3%83%BB%E3%82%AB%E3%83%A0%E3%82%BA%E3%83%BB%E3%82%A2%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B4!)

ドゥービー・ワゥ VS ドゥービー・ワー

It's distinctly different and to write it the same way as the song would be incorrect. It's also pronounced like the word "wow".

ワゥ (Small ゥ) is pretty frequently used as a romanization for the English word "wow" in almost every usage I can find.

Here's another example of it being romanized Wow: http://www.amazon.co.jp/DVD-WOW-%E3%83%AF%E3%82%A5-2006%E5%B9%B4-11%E6%9C%88%E5%8F%B7/dp/B000I2JJW0

If Araki romanizes it differently at some point, then maybe it can be written differently. But to spell it the same way as the song is misleading regarding the pronunciation and incorrect because it makes it seem like it's written the same way as the song and not as a varient. Like Guess/Gwess ゲス/グェス.
