The kanji for "perfume" (香水) sounds a bit like "cold sleep"

I saw this in a YouTube comment the other day... the Japanese word for "perfume" is 香水 or "kousui" which sounds a bit like "cold sleep". See Jisho: https://jisho.org/word/香水

Now that I've looked it up, listening to the new Cold Sleep track I can't unhear them singing "kousui" rather than "cold sleep" in the chorus 😄 Hearing it like that, the song takes on more of a self-referential feeling, almost like "Perfume" on Complete Best.

Has anyone noticed this before? Has it been referenced anywhere by the group (or in the documentary)? I can't imagine it's purely coincidence... after all, the founding story of their group's name was based on something similar...
