It doesn't seem to be a very widely used term there according to overture. Only 541 ovt last month. Plus there are no bids for the term for advertisements. I would say something is awry.

There seems to be a lot of noodleshops bearing the name 陽気 or Youki.

A direct translation in Chinese will be Yang Energy (the Yang as in the Taoism Ying Yang).
