<DIV>Thanks for the suggestions. But</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>neither David Lewis's</DIV>
<DIV>googling '(name) jmdb' i.e. '(Yaoya Oshichi) jmdb'</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>nor</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Drainer's</DIV>
<DIV>name in quotes " " and jmdb outside of the quotes i.e. "Yaoya Oshichi"
jmdb</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>works for me. Are you both saying I should input the name with kanji in
Google too?</DIV>

I type a kana title, e.g. Yaoya Oshichi [in<BR>hiragana], into the
