I've heard it's just the American way to say it. also if you take Gilgamesh, and put it into Japanese, of course the l changes to r, and you have to add a u.

But if there's a better more concise or something, explanation, the guys in the guys probably would know it better. So, maybe ask them?

If their name is literally translated as Girugamesh, why are people calling them Gilgamesh?

Gilgamesh is an anime.....

And there is no "L" in Japanese anyway........

I assume it's because 'ru' is pronounced as 'l' in Japanese. ^^;

girugametsushiyu apparently turns into 'gilgamesh'. XD

The band themselves write it 'Girugämesh'.

Emmm I actually saw a comment with them from Wacken-Germany and they pronounced it with 'r'.
So the ones who are calling them with 'l',it's totally wrong -nods-

Yes I know. X'D *lmao*
I guess it's a fanthing. Like I call the GazettE for 'Gazeboys'. -lmao-

I'm srsly lacking their new album! >_<'' *sob* Or well.. LATEST album. -hits self-

Do they have anything new coming up, btw? :''3

Uh, Nan, I think the 'tsu' is a little tsu, and just lengthens 'shu' to 'sshu' instead of having it's own value. That just makes more sense to me, idk.
