Oh, I know =) I'm just rather inconsistent with my titles. Sometimes I
call it by their English name and others by their katakana.

But see, even though two people on this ML say it's "Itoshi", I'm not
fully convinced. In fact, the very first time I saw "Aishi no Jean Paul"
was from Virtual Idols, and the maintainer is a Japanese guy by the name
of Iwata Shoji(nice guy btw).
I guess it would make more sense if we knew the song was taking liberties,
but I dunno why they couldn't just call it "Itoshii no Jean Paul" outright
than confusing us with the "ai/ito" kanji + "shi" katakana.
I guess in the meantime, I'll just call it "Aishi/Itoshi no Jean Paul" so
that I have all the bases covered.
