The Japanese Writing on Prince's clothes

Can anyone translate? He wore several outfits with Kanji on them including the white graffitti premire one and of course partyman. If you speak Japanese that may help. Thanks for any help in advance...

I remeber one of them was simply "human."

I think they were all pretty much single words if I remeber correctly.

On his cuff and around his collar the katakana characters say "Nuudo" - obviously for Nude

I translated some of the words on his clothes a while back. Apart from what's already been said; the kanji for 'love' ('ai') and Kana for 'Nude' ('Nuudo'), from what I remember I think he had his name printed in Kana there too somewhere, 'Purinsu'.

I had also wondered about this. I had asked my Japanese friend a while ago (a fan), and off the top of his head he said he recalled it was something like 'Love God'...at least on one of the outfits anyway.
