Quite a lot of notes here, please bear with me~<\/p>\n
\n
The host Ryuya adds “~kuri<\/span>sutaru kei” (Crystal Kay, Japanese singer-songwriter) at the end of his sentences when he says “~makuri<\/span>” or “~arimakuri<\/span>“. No particular meaning, just a play of words~<\/li>\n
Sakamoto Ryoma (\u5742\u672c\u9f8d\u99ac) was a Japanese samurai and influential figure of the Bakumatsu and establishment of the Empire of Japan in the late Edo period. He was a key figure in Japan’s modernization and contributed to overthrowing the Tokugawa Shogunate.<\/li>\n
“Ryoma ga yuku” (\u7adc\u99ac\u304c\u3086\u304f, literally, “Ryoma goes his way”) is the title of a famous novel by Shiba Ryotaro that documents the life of Sakamoto Ryoma. The novel has sold more than 24 million copies in Japan since its publication in 1966.<\/li>\n
“Saka no ue no kumo” (\u5742\u306e\u4e0a\u306e\u96f2, literally, clouds above the slope) is another famous novel by Shiba Ryotaro set in the Meiji period.<\/li>\n
Mentaiko: spicy cod roe. Fukuoka, where Otsuki worked, is famous for mentaiko.<\/li>\n
“Katsu” is the short form of “Katsudo” (\u6d3b\u52d5: activity) and in Japan they have all kinds of “katsudo” (actively doing something). Only a few of these “~katsu” were mentioned in this ep, and I decided to keep them in romaji (with explanations in English).\n
\n
Shu-katsu (\u5c31\u6d3b): job hunting. Most university students in Japan start to job hunt up to two years before graduating. It’s known to be really stressful. Rental-san’s sis was a victim… (ref: ep3).<\/li>\n
Kon-katsu (\u5a5a\u6d3b): marriage hunting, singles actively looking for a spouse. If you are also watching Peanut Butter Sandwich, that show focuses on the “kon-katsu” ladies. They are actively looking for a partner to marry, so they join mixers (gokon) and dating apps etc.<\/li>\n
Nin-katsu (\u598a\u6d3b): trying to conceive. For e.g, learning about conception, tracking basal body temperature, seeking medical treatment, etc.<\/li>\n
Asa-katsu (\u671d\u6d3b): activities that people do in the morning before going to work, for example going for a run, doing yoga, doing volunteer activities, attending talks or taking lessons, etc. In ep2 when Kanbayashi goes to the gym in the morning before going to work.<\/li>\n
Shu-katsu (\u7d42\u6d3b): end-of-life planning. For e.g, decluttering, making a will etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
