Shichirigahama is the name, not shi-chi-ga-hama. Shichi means "seven" in Japanese. "Ri" is a measurement of length, roughly translated as a "league", as in 20000 leagues under the sea. Hama means beach. So "ShichiRI ga Hama means "Seven League Beach" in English. I should know because I lived and surfed there every day there was waves from 1987-1995. My wife is Japanese, my daughter is Japanese and I am fluent and literate in Japanese. By the way, technically, this wave looks like Minegahama which is a couple of hundred yards west of "Shichiri". It's a little horseshoe reef that only holds swell up to about 4 feet before it closes out. When the crowds got bad I pulled out my 9' Mabo Royal and sent them home. Then got back on a short board.
