ケイト・瘢雹ブッシュ

I never thought of them as smilies before ;)

The two symbols that look like smilies are tsu and shi of katakana.

The katakana pronunciation of KaTe's name is keito busshu.

The Japanese title of TKI is in kanji, I can't say what the Japanese
title is though because I gave the album to Allen G. two years ago.
I think the other albums have only katakana pronounciations of the
English titles.
