Re:Japan to revise romanization rules for first time in 70 years on Wednesday December 17, 2025 @04:53AM (#46300028)
Minor corrections:

1. It's "Polivanov", not "Polianov".

2. It's "Синдзюку", not "Синдзуку".

Another example of JP→EN→RU is Nintendo's character Yoshi: By Polivanov, it should have become "Ёси" but since it came to RU via EN, it is written as "Йоши".
