In that case, isn't the reading for the 七 part of the word "nano", instead of just "na"?

Hm. True. Ah well.

Having searched WWWJdic for all compounds using 七, I can't find any that use a reading of just "na." However, it does exist as a valid dictionary reading, and so is used in 語呂合わせ (goroawase = rhyming word play with numbers), which Japan seems to love :p

I used to call it "point-five-nine" until I decided to learn the language, and tried to figure out why 573 was the Konami number at the same time. Then I found this page, and it helped. After that, as a joke, I call "59 cents". But I really call it "Tengoku"

Tengoku.

...But I pronounce it "Point Five-Nine".

That.

I never got used to saying Tengoku though. Sad

But the IIDX video has "TENGOKU" in it. Surprised

I played DDR before I ever got WAY into IIDX. I wouldn't know. <.<

It wasn't until a while back that I discovered it was really Tengoku anyway.

TenGoKu. (Heaven)
So Tengoku means "Heaven"? I thought the name was random.

anyway, I call the song "Punto cincuenta y nueve" which means "Dot fifty nine" in English :1

"Secret Agent"
.59 = TenGoKu

But If i separated like this ==> Ten GoKu = 10 Goku.

The artist comments on the song say that the name is supposed to be Ace, which is apparent by the card suits surrounding the joker in the bg.

I just pronounce it A though to avoid confusion though. Tongue
