No, I get it! My favourite band is ONE OK ROCK, and they're Japanese. They write their name sometimes as 10969 because 1-0 is pronounced "One-Oh" in English, and 9-6-9 is pronounced "ku-roh-ku" in Japanese — which is why I immediately knew what you were going for when you said what 3 was. So it reads "One-Oh-Ku-Roh-Ku," so if you know how Japanese drops vowels, and that they sing in both English and Japanese, the pun works.

I don't know Japanese, but I know enough to annoy my coworkers. So I'll walk into work and tell one person ohayo gozaimasu and the next person guten morgen (Japanese and German for "good morning," respectively. Someone tried to tell me "sayonara" (pronouncing it poorly) and I had to explain to them that "sayonara" is more of a "farewell" and is not appropriate to say to someone you're going to see again soon and that the Japanese just borrow our "goodbye" (I hear "buh-bye" when they say it). Just another loan word, like how we say ramen, sake, sushi, and other Japanese words like we know something.

So yeah, love it.
