Hiro,
I am trying to get the "feel" of this, and I keep coming up with and
"The....." as sounding right in English. But we do say "Boston
University", for whatever reason, as in, "The faculty and students of
Boston University...."
My 2c.

My trio's CD is in process. The group name is "Hiro Honshuku and A-
NO-
NE Trio". The publisher came back and asking to put "THE" in front
of A-
NO-NE Trio. I understand it sounds more natural to native English
speaker, but I always thought it doesn't make sense. You say The
Boston
University because Boston and University are not specific enough, but
you don't say The Harvard University because Harvard is specific.
Same
with The New England Conservatory. When they abbreviate, NEC, they
don't say The HEC because NEC is specific enough (sorta - once I got a
call for a gig. The person said he was referred me through NEC, and I
thought NEC as in Nihon Electric Company instead!). So, why do I need
"The" for A-NO-NE Trio? I am not really in a position to argue
with the
publisher, but I just wanted to understand this.
Another question. What is the publisher sign, (P) next to (C) in
front
of the name of the publisher name on commercial CDs mean? Thanks
in advance.
