Can a Japanese speaker give me translation for "恋 空" ("恋空")?
I know that 恋 means love, 空 means sky or heaven, but what is the right translation for "恋 空"?
Thanks

Looks like Chinese rather than Japanese to me.
If it is a valid Japanese word, its probably very antiquated.

It is a word-combination. "恋 空" has 100000 jp ovt, so i regged 恋空.com, but i still do not know the right translation.
In any case thanks for your reply, ekal.

Nice brain puzzle here for a Monday....
Shin / sora 恋 is a rarely used word for love - only in kanji combinations.
Kou/koi or normally aku 空 means open/available and is much more common.
Its a Sega game/book/anime - maybe all 3. Mainly a cellphone game.
Pronounced Koizora

However, Google's first 500 results are almost all Chinese and the phrase is very obscure in Japan.
You'll have more luck selling to a Chinese buyer.

I think it means "love the sky"
A term used by people who just like looking at the sky.
Probably only going to find pictures of the sky with this one, or people talking about how the sky looks.
