Name

Best has explained that "Fujiya" refers to Fujiya, a Japanese manufacturer of record players, and "Miyagi" refers to the character of Mr Miyagi from the film The Karate Kid,^[6] because the two names together "just looked really nice written down. And ["Fujiya and Miyagi"] was the only name we came up with."^[7]
