Many years ago, I ran a machine translation on a list of songs along with their genres. One of them was listed as 'cyber rock', written as 'サイバーロック'. The translation interpreted this to mean 'rhinoceros bar lock', which sounds less like a genre of music, and more like a sweet BMX trick.

By any chance did this menu have anything to do with simulating die rolls? The word for 'dice' is 'saikoro' (さいころ) and may have been abbreviated, or simply mis-parsed by the translators.

Here it is:

***** トウケイ フ' ンセ *****
1: 1~ンスワ トウケイ (x)
2: 2~ンスワ トウケイ (x,y)
ハ' ンコ' ウ ヲ エランテ' クタ' サイ.
