Question about Mega Voyager
 
Since MegaRanger is Japanese, why do they have "Mega Voyager" written on the front of the cockpit in English ???

Wouldn't it make more sense to have it written in Japanese?

Because English is a more widespread used language in the world?
Many games too have the same trend

There are a lot of things from Japan that are written in English.

During the Megaranger Henshin, there is text that says "Mega(color) Ready" and then "OK." The morpher used by the Zyurangers had Zyuranger written with English letters. There are more examples, but I can't think of them.

The Japanese know enough English to allow them to do this. They do this in many other places as well.

Have it written in Japanese when INET is supposed to be the International Network of Excel-science and Technology?

Obviously they use English because it is an International language, like what BozQ says, it is the most widely used language in the world.

Most Japanese things have English on them as part of their design, to appear new and modern. No one really cares whether it's PROPER English, however, and thus you get material for the famous engrish.com.

That is one of the funniest websites on the web. Except for maybe homestarrunner.com.
