The reason of named M.A.B.
We could find the origin of the word ``M.A.B.'' as the word ``mabu'' or ``maji''
in Japanese which was a word that's going around among Chor Kleines about a half year,
before we organized M.A.B..
( Chor Kleines, which was established in 1964, is the largest and most
famous mixed college chorus group in Tokyo.)
The meaning of ``mabu'' or ``maji'' is ``really?'' in English.
When we tried to do something we often used ``mabu'', and especially we
named ``mabu'' when we organized new groups among Chor Kleines.
This fashion made new meaning of ``mabu'' hazily, and in this movement,
we organized the male chorus group. That is why it was very natural for
us to name our group from ``mabu''.
In Japan, many chorus groups named themselves ``X.X.X. Male Choir'' or so,
and we also followed these manner and decided our group named Tokyo Institute
of Technology M.A.B. Male Choir.
Many people asked us the question ``What is the meaning of M.A.B.''. However
M.A.B. is not abbreviation but it came from a pronunciation of ``mabu''.
Many ancient myths say that word made the world ripe, the name ``M.A.B.''
also has been bring up its' meaning as time goes by and makes the group
marvelous.
