Re:Abe explains choice of Reiwa for next era name on Monday April 01, 2019 @02:44AM (#19541073)
I'm a chinese speaker, this new era name sounds kind of weird. When written in kanji, the previous nengos (meiji, taisho, showa, heisei) makes sense, and you can kind of tell the message it tries to convey. It just feels weird to me to concatenate "rei" and "wa" together.
