But it seems that veteran game music composer Yuzo Koshiro was not prepared for the confused reaction he received from English-speaking followers when he posted a pic of an innocent noodle dish on X yesterday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"in\" dir=\"ltr\">Bukkake <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OuyXzUSdPV\">pic.twitter.com\/OuyXzUSdPV<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u53e4\u4ee3\u7950\u4e09 Yuzo Koshiro (@yuzokoshiro) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yuzokoshiro\/status\/1779416698107601321?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 14, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bukkake udon is a bowl of thick noodles with a broth poured on top of it. \u201cUdon\u201d refers to the type of noodles and \u201cbukkake\u201d simply means to \u201csplash on\u201d something.

In fact, the word \u201cbukkake\u201d has become so strongly associated with adult content in the west that Japanese noodle chain Marugame Udon\u2019s branches in the US have renamed the dish to \u201cB.K.,\u201d as can be seen on their Texas and California <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marugameudon.com\/menu\/california-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">menus<\/a>.

Japanese has many English loan words that have taken on vastly different meanings. On a food-related note, the word \u201cViking\u201d in Japanese is used to refer to an all-you-can-eat buffet. Hearing that your hotel breakfast is a Viking could cause much confusion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Streets of Rage composer Yuzo Koshiro posted a pic of an innocent noodle dish on X, resulting in mass confusion among English-speaking fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":29723,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-29705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Game music composer Yuzo Koshiro&#039;s &quot;Bukkake&quot;
