In Japanese, foreign words are written using one of its two sets of
phonetic characters: By transliteration, "Sympa" may be written as
サンパ /sa//m//pa/ for French and シンパ /si//m//pa/ for English.
Because latter word is solely used to express "sympathizer (of
political group)" in Japanese, I prefer French one.

I'd like to send MP3 in the near future.
