interesting fact: christmas eve and new years eve (as in the 31st) are considered half holidays in germany, people are allowed to work on those days but only for four hours
These Japanese festivals are so interesting! As a elementary Japanese teacher in Australia I love teaching about these festivals and the students find them so interesting.
I love when you show us how you make dinner for your husband or cook in general! I know with Covid it’s hard to find content to put out, so maybe some cooking recipes would be a great option! I would love to learn how to make more Japanese dinner foods! Also hoping to sign up for bokksu with my tax return and your coupon code soon! Love you and your channel! Much love and stay safe in these Covid times
I have fond memories of Tanabata from a Tanabata festival event in a game I used to play. I'm not exactly sure why, but that event in particular has really stuck with me
Green Day? 😂 Also, the fact that you said throwing beans at the altar and in the video you see the priests throwing beans from the altar to the people i find it funny. There isn't a holiday when you release paper lanterns in the sky?
I knew many of these holidays from reading various things throughout the years, but it was the animated film 未来のミライ where I first remember hearing about 雛祭り. I'm biased, but 春分の日 is my favorite because some years (I'm looking at you 2022, 2023 & 2027) it falls on my birthday, March 21st. Even though it will be a March 20th year, I specifically want to return to Japan in 2030 for my 還暦.
I knew of most of these but not why they were celebrated so what a great video! I have a question about a one of the non traditional holidays not mentioned, why is White Day separate to Valentines Day?
In school we use to do a few events to correlate to some Japanese holidays. We had a Shinnenkai event and I think one around Golden week that was a bit of a catch all cultural event. The boys day booth you'd color paper koi pictures.
Have you made a video on Butsudan or Kamidana? If you have I'm sorry. But if you dont have I would really like to see one. I think they are really interesting and I would like to know more. Especially from you! Your videos are always good at making me wanting more and you are really good at explaining. Keep up the good work ! Matane!
As the father of little girls, I think I’m going to adopt/adapt Hina Matsuri as a family tradition. In addition to being a great way to celebrate them and wish for their happiness and success, it’ll be a great way to share my love of culture and language. Arigato gozaimasu, Reina Sensei!
I have a personal experience with bon odori! One of my Japanese language professors had been a traditional dance teacher in Japan, and the students were given the opportunity to volunteer to take some bon odori classes and perform for the local Japanese festival at the botanic gardens! The Japanese embassy let us borrow matching yukata for the performance and the attendees followed along in a larger circle around us. It was a great experience!
The "clean up the doll display by this date" thing reminds me of having to put your xmas decorations away by the 12th night or you get bad luck! I wonder if that's a really common cultural thing everywhere, everyone gets a tradition that encourages you to tidy up
I think about 2/3rds of the holidays are mentioned in Haruhi/Haruhi-chan. The Boys Day/Childrens day and setsubon being particularly memorable. Though for New Years they mention lucky omens of dreams for seeing mount Fuji, an eagle and an eggplant which seemed interesting. What is the special significance of Mount Fuji that leads it to be a lucky omen?
I'm not sure if you had the opportunity to see the movie, but Obon was what they were celebrating in "Tenki no Ko", right? Where they were burning something so that their ancestors could follow the smoke? They were also hopping back and forth over the fire - is that common?
I actually JUST learned that apparently a lot of cultures know of the story of two celestial lovers that are separated by the Milky Way! They correspond to Vega & Altair! And it’s the same story about how Vega cries so hard that the magpies on earth all fly up and create a bridge that allows them to meet each other 🥺🎋
interestingly enough, my family (from the south guangdong province in China) also goes to visit out the ancestral graves around the same time as ohigan as well.
That’s a national holiday that’s based on the Showa era emperor’s birthday (semi modern), I specifically only talked about cultural / religious / traditional holidays (super old) in this video 😊
Setsubun is so fascinating to me! So if the lucky direction changes each year, like how does that work? Is there like an almanac that dictates which direction is lucky each year way in advance, or is it selected by some sort of authority shortly before the holiday? Is there an order to it (like clockwise on a compass), or is it completely random each year?
I hated when I found out Boy’s Day became Children’s day in Hawaii cause at my elementary on Girl’s Day the boys had to put the girls chairs away and vice versa for Boy’s Day but not after it became Children’s Day while we still did Girl’s Day 😑
I'm curious to know when Japan moved to the Gregorian calendar, and did they transfer the New Year celebration from the previous date or is it something new?

Hope you enjoy~
I love this video can you make another on festivals? ❤❤❤
I love learning about Japanese culture, I definitely like the one with the Samurai doll. Have a nice week Reina 👍!
Then watch Kimetsu no Yaiba
Green Day? 😂
Also, the fact that you said throwing beans at the altar and in the video you see the priests throwing beans from the altar to the people i find it funny.
There isn't a holiday when you release paper lanterns in the sky?
out of the equinoxes, i knew none of the holidays! Thank you so much for sharing your culture.
I haven't been getting notified when your videos are posted. Anyways, I'm happy to see everything is alright with you.
I really love girls day when i was an teenage i got to have picture taken of myself in kimono on girls day very beautiful 🎐🎋this was at Epcot
The July 7th holiday is so beautiful sounding 🥰 I love the story connected to it!
🥰 I love it, too! So romantic~
It's like Valentines Day almost.
Thank you for bringing me your joy before going to sleep, ビデオでありがとう✨

Konnichiwa Reina!😁
Obon is like Day of the Dead, ha.
It really really is very similar!!!!!!
@@reinascully And All Saint's Day in Poland.
Good day Reina ! I'm early for once 💙😘😊
日本人の私もすっごく勉強になりました！どうもありがとう😃英語できないので日本語でごめんなさい😅
こんにちはー✨
めちゃくちゃ勉強になります！😂
私、南部に住んでいるので聞き取りやすい英語で耳にもgood💖🙇♀️
次回も楽しみにしてまーす😘
I knew of most of these but not why they were celebrated so what a great video!
I have a question about a one of the non traditional holidays not mentioned, why is White Day separate to Valentines Day?
It would be amazing if you also explained about Japanese Food holidays (Like Rice day, Sandwich day, Ramen day, etc).
Hi dear and Thank you!
I really love Japanese culture but there's so many different things.. Makes it hard to keep up with
My first exposure to hina matsuri was from the anime film Mirai (2018)! Who knew that cleaning up was so important for your love life LOL
In school we use to do a few events to correlate to some Japanese holidays. We had a Shinnenkai event and I think one around Golden week that was a bit of a catch all cultural event. The boys day booth you'd color paper koi pictures.
I had no idea Hina Matsuri meant that...you learn something new every day :)

Especially from you! Your videos are always good at making me wanting more and you are really good at explaining. Keep up the good work ! Matane!
TIL お盆 is Japanese version of the Day of the Death in Mexico
Yes exactly!!!!!! They are VERY similar!!!
I need to find the video about the quirky traditions and modern stuff. I love the KitKat (kitukatsu) story. KFC is interesting too.

My wife and I were watching Terrace House and they celebrated Setsubun and we were very confused lol but we looked it up and learned something new lol
It’s so random without context LOLOL
@@reinascully the confusion was at an all time high lmao 😂
The tanabata thing is emotional 😥
Ok nice work on your video
I'm not sure if you had the opportunity to see the movie, but Obon was what they were celebrating in "Tenki no Ko", right? Where they were burning something so that their ancestors could follow the smoke? They were also hopping back and forth over the fire - is that common?
i want to celebrate all of these holidays some day T^T
Tanabata has been my favorite holiday since I was a kid. I wish it was a bigger thing in the west.
I actually JUST learned that apparently a lot of cultures know of the story of two celestial lovers that are separated by the Milky Way! They correspond to Vega & Altair! And it’s the same story about how Vega cries so hard that the magpies on earth all fly up and create a bridge that allows them to meet each other 🥺🎋

6:07 why Magikarp evolve into Gyarados
Isn't Showa no Hi also as big holiday? Also I really knew about Setsubun, it's really cool!
That’s a national holiday that’s based on the Showa era emperor’s birthday (semi modern), I specifically only talked about cultural / religious / traditional holidays (super old) in this video 😊
it's normal holiday
As a half-Japanese, she looks Eurasian to me. Just because of her blond hair looking pretty western and her asian-looking eyes.
2:50 Urusei Yatsura! Forgot which episode ...
What does 🇯🇵 people do on their holidays, what those special occasions are like in 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵???
I could be wrong, but is that you’re voice in - the new , Netflix pacific rim the black ?
Hope everyone is having a good day 😊🖤
Same to you 🥰
I can't wait to see a full playthrough of huniepop 2, right?
Setsubun is so fascinating to me! So if the lucky direction changes each year, like how does that work? Is there like an almanac that dictates which direction is lucky each year way in advance, or is it selected by some sort of authority shortly before the holiday? Is there an order to it (like clockwise on a compass), or is it completely random each year?
Reina Scully Day why isn't that a national holiday? 😥😢😭
Wondering if the celebration of the lunar new year is big in Japan
Reina did you hear about hunnie pop 2 lol
Just like my country it has a lot of Holidays
Anyone else hearing the low volume? I had to up mine to 100.
Yes I had that same problem!
When is Mecha Ude episode 2 coming OUT!!!!
Kawaii ne!!
I am very sad there isn't any christmas q^q
I hated when I found out Boy’s Day became Children’s day in Hawaii cause at my elementary on Girl’s Day the boys had to put the girls chairs away and vice versa for Boy’s Day but not after it became Children’s Day while we still did Girl’s Day 😑
Omg same! I hate that they changed it 😤 so dumb. I don’t care. It’s still boy’s day lol.
10:05 Cioccolatta?!
現在はすべて「国民の休日」と、法で定義されていますが、昔は「祝日」と「祭日」が明確に分かれていました。
祝日は「祝う日」。つまり皇室関連の記念日。祭日は「政（まつりごと）の日」。つまり政治的な記念日でした。
現在ではまとめて「祝日」ですが、ハッピーマンデーと言われる毎年ズラして日曜と連休になる休日はそのすべてが「祭日」です。
「皇室は揺るがない」ということなのでしょうね。♪
Who decides what direction is lucky? Is there a Council of Luck...
💯
I'm curious to know when Japan moved to the Gregorian calendar, and did they transfer the New Year celebration from the previous date or is it something new?
It was in the late 1800’s during the Meiji Restoration period 🗓
Im 14 years tryna learn japanese so in the future I can go travel to japan
So does meca ude have any plans or was that it?
additionally 七夕、お盆、、
🔥
4:37 Romaji should be written as "hina kazari." Just a simple typo
I knew of a few of these because of Animal Crossing and World of Warcraft! 😂
I like skill share. I like shento. I hope to consider this pandemic the longest vacation ever.
