Would I be correct to say that this service's name is pronounced using four syllables? I am unsure of whether it is supposed to rhyme with 'scooter' or with 'sitter'.

It's ridiculous that Japanese music industry are so backwards in their way of doing business, it's no wonder kpop has seen an exponential growth internationally; do to their proctive embracement of streaming it's not perfect, but it's way better than what the Japanese are doing.

I'd say yes, as it's probably short for Anime Uta (Uta being japanese for "song").

I don't see how it would rhyme with either of those but then again you're from London so you probably pronounce things differently

Nice to see the love for Wake Up, Girls! This would seem to confirm that doing OP/EDs for other anime was a good way to boost the group, although it's ironic that these moonlighting gigs probably did more to help the group than their own anime’s atrocious second season.

Also, I had no idea GRANRODEO was so genuinely popular. I’ve always taken reports of their popularity with a grain of salt from inside the âge fanboy bubble (they were formed for the sake of doing an insert song for the Rumbling Hearts VN, as their lead singer voices the protagonist in that series).
