The first is "Kuchizuke," which literally means "Kiss." I guess that would make sense given the hot subject matter of the song. Occasionally, though, I see it listed as "Seppun," which is literally Japanese for... "Seppun" I guess. I don't know.

So I was wondering which one was the more accurate title and can someone clarify why it seems to have two names? Thanks in advance!]]>
