Title—The title サマータイムマシンブルース[^Sama taimumashin burusu^] is a phonetic representation in Katakana of “summer time machine blues.” It appears on Japanese posters use along with “Summer TimeMachine Blues,” but the film’s credits seem to have only “Summer Time Machine Blues” in English. We may have missed it during the screening up in the ITTDB Citadel, but none of us saw the phonetic title written in the film itself, so we’re using Summer Time Machine Blues as the canonical title and listing サマータイムマシンブルースas an alternative phonetic title.
