Band Name[edit]

As I understand it, and its in Japrocksampler(can't give a page ref as I dont have the book to hand), the name is a pun on Les Valises Denudes, which translates as Empty Suitcases, which Cope claims was an insult used by the (French-Obsessed) Japanese radical left.

oh my gosh, the "references" thing makes me want^{[citation needed]} to add {{cn}} all over the page^{[citation needed]}...76.102.227.227 (talk) 14:16, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

this page has a lot of strange information on this band. i'm not so sure about the current descriptor of the band name...the Les Valises makes a lot more sense —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.237.167.16 (talk) 03:21, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it’s nonsense. Both dénudés (obviously) and hadaka mean nude, not “striped”. —88.215.113.205 (talk) 16:02, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dénudés doesn't precisely mean "nude" (that would be nus). It means "denuded" or "stripped," and could be used of something like a suitcase, though applications to people stripped of clothing are more common. Hadaka does mean nude.202.94.132.19 (talk) 13:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The meaning of their name in Japanese is "Fucked Up and Naked". That is where the name of the compilation comes from. 裸 means 'naked'. ラリーズ is Japanese slang derived from the verb ラリる meaning to "be high on drugs". As for the French name. It is basically a translation. However I own a book about Keiji Haino which also contains a lengthy section about Haino's contemporaries; one of them being Les rallizes dénudés. The French etymology is basically explained as a translation of what I just typed but it also mentions some literary context of the words although I'm inclined to think that is merely fanfiction.StillHighFromYesterday (talk) 09:34, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Issues with the page[edit]

Can someone expand on the purported issues with this page? I could start helping with addressing them, but the article does not seem that bad to me. The sources seem okay and the article itself seems to present a good summary of the band's history. Aa24577 (talk) 03:52, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
