From picnics in tents to school at the dining room table,

テントでのピクニックに 家での自習

we're doing new things like making masks and celebrating birthdays online.

マスク作りに オンライン誕生日会

But we prepare for the future by cleaning our car and practicing our driving,

皆で洗車した後は ゲームで運転の練習

so sit back and relax as we do Life in Japan.

今日も寛いで "Life in Japan" を お楽しみ下さい！

What is everybody freaking out about here?

パパ！

There was a bee! There's a bee?

何怖がってるの？

It was like this close!

It's ok. You're so much bigger than a bee.

In the bushes. I don't even see it.

どこ？

Look! See the flying thing right there?

- 茂みの中！ - 見えないよ

See the flying thing? There's the bee! There's the bee!

見て！飛んでるよ

I actually messed with him and he stung me.

- 飛んでる！ - 蜂だ！

We were trying to make a home right there but...

脅かしたら刺されたの

There was one time I was stung by a bee — I was swinging...

そこにお家作ろうとしてたのに

And then I jumped and then I landed on a flower with a bee on it.

私も蜂に刺されたことあるよ

Ouch!

ジャンプして着地したら 蜂の上だったの

It pinched me. Yea, it stung you.

痛いね

Yeah, it like stung me. Did it really hurt?

- 摘まれたみたい - 刺されたんだよ

Yeah, I cried at school.

彼は丸太を飛び越えて… 曲がった…

I know how to do this. You just wiggle.

木の外と中を…

(Reading) Instead, he jumped over logs covered in... Curved...

昔は当たり前でしたが 今は特別な事…

Curved in and out of trees

スーパーで買い物です！

It's the simple things in life that have become the most meaningful — like going to the grocery store — yeah!!

Where is he?

どこだ？ 見つけたぞ！

Where is he? Oh! I found him!

一体どうしちゃったんだ？！

What has happened to my family?

ここだったら 一人になりたい時に寛げるね

You know someone could come in here to have a little alone time if they needed to.

喧嘩した時 来るの？

No, if they're fighting they can come in here.

叱られた時も一人になるけど…

Normally alone time would be a punishment, but now...

ホーホーホー！ メリークリスマス！

Ha ha ha. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas?

アナが音楽に夢中です

Anna's been working super hard on her song!

これからマイクとピアノで練習だね？

And now she's going to practice it with a microphone and the piano at the coffee shop, right?

Coffee shop. Your voice is so loud!

カートに誰かいるね

Oh, look who's in the cart!

すごいな

Oh my goodness!

ルイージで パパ追い抜いたよ！

マリオカートの4人対戦で 激闘中です！

We are having an intense game of 4-player Mario Kart, right guys?

ルイージが一番だよ！

Luigi is number 1 right now. We'll see.

サラも頑張ってるね さっきパパに勝ったね

Sarah's doing good though. She beat daddy in the last race! And so did Joshua.

ジョシュアもだね

Becca got first place but we'll see — there's still another race left.

ベッカが現在1位です まだレースは続きます

Who will win?! Cheer for Luigi!

- 誰が勝つかな？！ - ルイージを応援して！

＜そして...＞

Mario did pretty good and Sarah, you did really good! 200cc!

＜パパは負けた＞

My niece Sophie had her 10th birthday party quarantined in her house in America.

自慢したげだね

So we celebrated with an online birthday party and fun quiz that she made up.

パパに勝った！

You want to go over the rules, Sophie? Yes. Rules.

勝ったよ！

To answer the question, say "Ding" and we will call on you.

ルイージが1位だね その次がクッパ

This will be multiple choice. What is Sophie's favorite food?

マリオは良い成績だね サラもすごいじゃないか！

Pizza, spaghetti, steak or... Ding!

アメリカにいる姪のソフィーは 外出自粛令下での誕生日なので

Oh, we heard Grandma first. Grandma.

オンラインのクイズ大会で 誕生日を祝いました

正解！

So you guys are making about 25 kilos of cinnamon rolls today?

Just one batch is all. One batch is all.

We played a game to spray each other. We use that car thing and "chya."

- 全部じゃないわよ - 全部じゃないよね

Yeah, and sprayed us!

- いいね - クリームチーズ・フロスティングよ

Should we pull the car out then?

いいね！

We're getting in the van so they can be inside when they spray it.

ジョシュア！

OK!

びしょ濡れじゃないか！

Use this. Go like this and then you wash the car.

お互いにホースで 水掛けるゲームだよ

OK now go wash the car.

水掛けるの

Wait Joshua, over here!

車出そうか？

3, 2, 1. 3, 2, 1.

片方が車に乗って 水を出します

Are you OK?

OK！

こうやって洗車するのよ

Should I wash you Daddy?

そうよ

Oh, Becca's helping out. That's great! Ooo.

ジョシュア こっち！

Wow, look at how nice that's looking, Becca.

3・2・1！

Life in Japan may not look like what it used to, and it may not ever go back to what it was — at least not for awhile.

大丈夫？

You can look at all the restrictions and stress out over all you can't control,

3・2・1！

or you can choose to focus on what you can control and make the world a better place.

パパも洗おうか？

We choose the latter. I pray you will too!

ベッカはお手伝いだね 偉いね！

Thanks for watching, liking and subscribing to our channel. It helps make the world a better place!

綺麗になってきたね！

Hey, you're not making Grandma dizzy, are you?

日本での生活も変わりました この状況が暫く続くかもしれません

No.

出来ない事やストレスも 沢山あるかもしれませんが

Until next time, we'll see you on Life in Japan.

自分達で出来る何かに 目を向ける事も出来ます

It's lunch time and boy does it smell good up here!

私達はそうしたいです

Daddy, I've got a new name for this: Pizza chicken.

"いいね！"と"チャンネル登録"も お願いします

Pizza chicken! Oh, yum!

おばあちゃん 目が回らない？
