We got names. So, now I'll post Furinkan's notes. Furinkan chooses not to romanize their names specifically as Left and Right, so they call them Refuto and Raito instead. Unlike VIZ.
"The joke is the lunar reference in the store's name and the fact that Refuto and Raito are rabbits. In Japan there is the story of the rabbit on the moon rather than the "man in the moon" that is talked about in the West."
"Twins in Japan - there is a difference in "older" with twins in Japanese culture. The twin that is physically born first would be the eldest in the West. In Japan however, the first born is the "youngest" because the "elder" twin offered to let them leave the womb first which indicates their maturity and care. It is difficult to say if Raito is saying she was physically born first (and would be older by Western reckoning) or if she is older because she allowed Refuto to be physically born first and would be the elder sister by traditional Japanese twin standards."
I didn't know that about twins in Japan.
