Sakuranbo Elementary School さくらんぼ小学校 might sound pretty innocent to the most of us. But a popular eroge company also uses the same title, hence creating controversy when the mayor of Yamagata prefecture decided use it for the new elementary school that is scheduled to open next year.
Of course the bad decision has now been spreading all over the news and concerned parents are asking authorities to change the name of the elementary school. However, the mayor has announced that he will not be changing the name anytime soon, and he was quoted saying:
「校名を変えれば、かえってアダルトの世界を正当化することになる」
Changing the school name would mean justifying the existence of eroge.

Soon all the crazy pedobears will be flocking to the school and then when something happens to the poor elementary school kids, the mayor would have losta explaining to do, especially to the parents for his decision not to change the school’s name.
What a silly thing this mayor did… not changing the name does not achieve invaliding the eroge either so what’s his point?
I don’t think him naming the school the same as in the eroge is the problem here, but the fact that the press and media decided to go all crazy and report on that. Now the whole world knows of it.
Did the mayor intentionally named the elementary school like that to troll us all or was he really not aware that the name is also being used by an eroge company?
Maybe it was decided subconsciously because he is a big pedobear.
nice one XD. sakuranbo …. i dont have any impression about this though =.= after checking dictionary, the word just mean cherry… nothing special unless u think wrongly
