How do you say "Antic Cafe"?

Which is the right way to write the group's name? I use Antic Cafe, but I've seen it used as Ancafe and Antique Cafe.

So, which do you prefer?

Antique Cafe is the direct translation of there name; hense the way I say it and the way everyone should.

I believe they said in an interview that they had seen people calling them Antique Cafe, but that the correct way they meant for it to be was Antic Cafe. I can look for it if you want... mm, about An Cafe, that's the way they romanize it (from the katakana) themselves, so it's also correct. I call them that way because it's shorter.

In casual conversation I usually call them An Cafe; But thats cos I speak fast - but on tinternets its Antique Cafe

I pronounce them as Antique Cafe, but when I properly say their name I say Antikku Kafe, 'Cause my Japanese friends don't understand when I say Antique in my British accent.

Yeah, same here!! D: Even though I prefer the tag An Cafe, it comes up as a different artist page x.x; So yeah, on my iTunes they're labeled as Antique Cafe, but otherwise I call them An Cafe xD

I just tag them as アンティック-珈琲店- lol
Since I have one smart playlist for each artist on my iTunes, it doesn't matter to me if I tag the artist with a name I can't read, I just name the playlist with romaji and ta-dah! XD

Mm, it works fine with me... my computer reads japanese symbols as [][][][], but they show just fine on my last.fm page and software. You say "old setup", doesn't it work now? Maybe it was the version of the last.fm scrobbling program thingy that didn't work properly? *doesn't really know much about it lol*
