I really think the resemblance between the sounds of bouquet and  
bokeh are more than coincidental and they have a certain metaphorical  
similarity. The Japanese frequently adopt western words and  
incorporate them into their language.

You could probably guess these just by saying them out loud:
hottodoggu
faitingu supiritto
guddobai
biiru
koora
sakkaa
haafu taimu
refurii

Answers: hot dog, fighting spirit, good bye, beer, cola, soccer, half  
time, referee.
