City of Color or Inkopolis Sinker?

I noticed that on this page, as well, as others, that the Splatfest Lobby Theme is given the name City of Color / City of Colour. However, wouldn't a more accurate translation be Inkopolis Sinker, as is directly taken from Splatune? Jed1ndy (talk) 03:01, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps, "Inkopolis Sinker" is someone's translation of ハイカラシンカ. but I think "Haikara Evolution" is more correctly. --Azoth (talk) 03:26, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Ah, Splatune tells "High-Color Evolution" for ハイカラシンカ's English title in Japan region. --Azoth (talk) 03:29, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed that as well. ハイカラシンカ literally translatesto / is read as "High-Color Sinker," or "Haikara Sinker," though Also, the Japanese name for Inkopolis is "High-Color City". Jed1ndy (talk) 03:38, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Well, We can get the "Official translations" for the titles of the musics. how should these do?--Azoth (talk) 03:44, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess that would work. In the "Sinker" vs. "Evolution" department, I can't figure out which one they meant. 進化 (Shinka) does mean "evolution," however, since they spelled it as シンカ (Also Shinka), it is more often than not read as "sinker." Maybe it's just a joke that doesn't make sense outside of Japanese, and is supposed to mean both. Jed1ndy (talk) 03:58, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Hm...I think these "Official translations" are not necessarily same as "Official English titles". So, We can have the three now, "Original Japanese title", "Official translation in Japan region", and "Fan Translation". And in the future, we can add the "Official English title" instead of "Fan Translation", right? --Azoth (talk) 04:06, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

The reason I think so is, for example, the Kelp Dome's "Official translation" is "MOZUKU Farm" in Ikasu Artbook. So I have some hesitation to add these information of official translations. --Azoth (talk) 04:13, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

Okay, so I looked it up on Squid Beatz, and the official title is, indeed, City of Color. I do think, however, that ハイカラシンカ is supposed to be High-Color Sinker and not High-Color Evolution, however, the world may never know. While going to the back of the Splatune CD may seem like a good idea, it can be incorrect times, i.e., "SE: Voice Sea O'colors cliche" should be something more akin to "SE: Voice Sea O'colors motto". However, like I said, I don't think there really is a correct answer on the subject of that debate. Thanks for the help, though. Jed1ndy (talk) 04:17, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
