“Mirai” simply means “future” in Japanese. It’s also a reasonably pretty word, with the virtue of not being made up by some focus group.
I assume their marketing team doesn’t pay much attention to the tech press - computer literacy in Japan is surprisingly low.

In Spanish, “no va” means “doesn’t go”. There are a *lot* of Spanish speakers in the Nova’s target market.
