It looks like your email client was unable to handle the letter "ō"
("o" with macron). [1] According to Wikipedia, [2] Zack probably meant
the Japanese era name.  I guess you are the right person to say whether
it should be written as "nengō" or "nengo" or "Japanese era name"
or "Japanese year name" or just drop the parentheses completely.
I think it's not about the Japanese Calendar, as you suggest.

BTW, this Wikipedia article also explained me what you mean by the
"year name".  I confirm that the term is confusing for those unfamiliar
with the Japanese calendar.
