• "蜜と唾" ("MITSU TO TSUBA") literally means "honey and saliva"; though the kanji are written in reverse on the packaging, and thus transliterate as TSUMI TO BATSU; literally "crime and punishment". This oddity is generally regarded as wordplay by Kyo and the latter is considered the correct translation.
