Suzuka shaved her eyebrows off...,who knows why. Toryanse is AG giving thanks for their success after many years of hard work. It's a nursery rhyme and can be heard at traffic crossings when the light is green ie "You may pass/go now". The traditional song is about a woman asking to enter a shrine to give thanks that her child has reached 7 years old. In the video we see get lots of references to success and prosperity. The blue and white and red and white squares is a ichimatsu design and is associated with business success and prosperity. The daikon is also associated with prosperity and vitality at shrines. I think the other thing in the basket is burdock root and maybe the basket is just what someone might bring as an offering to the shrine to give thanks. Other symbols of happiness and success are the masks (kitsune prominent), oranges and okame. So the themes are very traditionally Japanese and I think that's AG just showing how much they love Japan and they want to share that with the world. My favorite bits are; The amazing robes; Mizyu falling over right after she wakes up and Kanon precisely folding her bedding at the beginning. Rin's rap and the lively fish she's trying to prepare around the irori (sunken hearth).
hahah the thing about Suzuka's eyebrows is funny, in an interview they asked her what happened to her eyebrows and she said "that was a very crazy night" and we all thought it was a spur of the moment or something like that, BUT NO, Suzuka has shaved her eyebrows again and we don't know why she doesn't let them grow
