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
