[@Arielia01]

[@風見アチャ]

why the players' hand passing the line? in Chihayafuru they musn't

[@deadindogyears]

@5:49 I may have gotten excited that they called the Chihayafuru [impassionate] card...because of the show...and I feel like that is the nerdiest thing I have done all week

[@eileenlealroman]

The guy won!!! It kind of reminds me of Arata.

[@NOWORRYS08]

I wanna play karuta! But I want to understand the poems and verses...like Kana.

[@TheeFri2]

Thats true.XD
I have Karuta cards at home...And yeah...You're right. @___@
Its tiring and hard!! I don't really play because I lost the booklet that had all the poems in Romaji and stuff...I just swing and hit cards...and hitting cards a certain way sorta hurts for a moment...

[@Kai-fl1se]

I wanna play like chihaya

[@eileenlealroman]
