The other day I was discussing what does Gurumin mean. Apparently, "guru" means "spinning" the same way "kuru" does, as an onomatopeia; it can also mean "leader" or even "cohort". On the other hand, "min" means "people", "nation" or "subjects". This leaves us with either "the people's leader" or "spinning people". Considering the way Guru is used in "Guru Guru Tonight", it might be the latter; but this could also be a pun on dancing. Now, how does spinning relate to the game at all? Well, I've noticed drills move in circles when used, and Parin has a good number of special attacks with spin animations. Perhaps she is the turn-around the Phantom World needs to achieve peace, and the title reflects that. I bet they just found it catchy, though; just like Pikmin does.

Anyways, this charade has no relation to the songs, I just feel great talking about the games I like to support the most. By the way, Match 2 is absurdly stacked, and it's scary.
