Setsubun is a traditional Japanese festival held on February 3rd, the day before the start of spring in the old lunar calendar. People throw roasted soybeans while shouting 'Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!' which means 'Demons out! Fortune in!' to drive away evil spirits and welcome good luck for the new year.

He is a genius. Moreover, in this take, he’s singing in Japanese, his fourth language.

I want to invite him to Tokyo to perform and sing at Studio Necola—soon!

W: You should ask her! Who is it? Someone I know?
M: Oh, you know her better than anyone else.
W: Mari? Tomoe?
M: You know, she is the one I'm talking with now.
