A live version of "Café Olé no Uta", at FM Yokohama's Queen's Square event…

Nice to hear a live version of that particular song, though of Aimai na kankei is what I really want! When she did her mini-live in Shinjuku tower records, she got us all to sing cafe ole no uta acapella for about five seconds, which was a lot of fun

I see that title romanized as "Café Olé no Uta" (with or without the accents) all over the place, but shouldn't it really be "Café au Lait no Uta"?

[Celedam]

You're right, my mistake. I don't drink coffee (or know French), so I wasn't really thinking about it.

If you go to the coffee brand website they choose to put it as Café Olé (the URL at least).

Well, fuck.

Thanks. That's why I phrased it as a question.

That is to say, I know that "Café au lait" is technically correct, but I wondered whether there might not be some other motivation for the "olé" spelling.

[Sohee]

"au Lait" is オレ in Japanese. :3 Which makes sense cause it sounds that way. Damn French lol. So it's a question of if you wanna use romaji or you wanna go and translate it. Cause... it's really au Lait.

[Celedam]

The brand name — and therefore the song title — is Café Olé.
