The Twilight books, as translated into Japanese:

I Loved a Vampire
The Flavor of Blood is Sadness
The Dark Vampire Tribe
Fangs Sweetly Whisper
Wolf Moon
The Grieving Fallen Angel
The Red Seal
Kiss Me Cold
Twilight is the Monsters' Hour
Vampire Bride
The Dawn Guardian

What they lack in subtlety, they make up for in panache -- which makes them much better titles for these books than the originals, since the books also make up in panache what they lack in subtlety.

Also, one of the songs in "Ninja Death Squad" is going to be "The Flavor of Blood is Sadness."

...THERE ARE THAT MANY?!

It's four English novels, but they split them each into two or three parts for the Japanese release -- they each have 500 or 600 pages, and (as you of course know) Japanese paperbacks don't typically run to that length.

Thank heavens.
