Name

The word hidari means "left" in Japanese, though the actual origin of the band's name comes from the first syllable of each of the three founding members' names, "Hiroshi", "Daisuke", and "Ryosuke". For that reason, it is spelled in the phonetic alphabet of katakana instead of the more representative kanji.

gollark: Anyway, the problem with this whole "make it so you can't read the code" thing is that that ends up being security through obscurity, which is doomed to fail through reverse engineering or someone finding the code.
gollark: PotatOS does that with thousands of lines of code and it's barely reliable.
gollark: Well, that's really hard, and why?
gollark: If CC can download something so can other applications, generally.
