What is "rabu rabu"?

Question

I think it has some meaning to the otaku crowd perhaps??? I have no idea.

Answer 1

I think it's "Love Love". The Japanese have traditionally had trouble pronouncing some words, not learning how to at birth. To compensate, the 'L' sound is often replaced with 'R', and on occasion the 'V' with 'B'.

Ex: 'Boizu Raibu' (Boys Love, a foreign adaptation for a anime and manga genre)

And

'Bampia' (Heard a lot in Vampire Knight, no 'V', 'B')

So it's basically a foreign adaptation of our words. Very cool, ne?

Answer 2

I think it's the japanese pronounciation of "Love Love" which is sort of like saying someone's all "lovey-dovey".

I could be wrong.
