I remember when the Quality Checker in my workplace asked me what "tegami" meant. Hearing the word quite unclear, I thought she was asking an English word, but I catched on that "tegami" was the Japanese word for "letter". She then asked had I watched a movie titled "Have a Song on Your Lips" and recommended it. Turned out that "Tegami" is that movie's soundtrack's title.
