@mushi Well, the revised Hepburn system of romanization uses macrons to imply long vowels, but "-ou" is only used in Wāpuro rōmaji, and works for おう but not おお. However, using the JSL romanization you can substitute "-oo" for either おお or おう and using the aforementioned Heburn system "-oh" can also be substituted. Ultimately, unless writing a formal report, generally speaking this is all just useless semantics and in informal conversation as long as the message is conveyed clearly the discussion of romanization is trivial.
