The violin. The violin!

バイオリン

Has anyone ever had someone learn a string instrument in your house?

弦楽器を習った事がありますか？

Well you know what you're in for, don't you?

大変ですよね

[Life in Japan Theme Song]

一番大事な仕事とは？

If I asked you what is the most important job in Japan is, what would your answer be?

宿題？偉いね！

Are you doing your homework Dude? Good job!

"み" だね

Looks like you have "mi" Yea.

"う" ”ん” "み"

"U," "N" and "Mi"

上手

Very good.

私が思うのは 当たり前だけど重要な "あの仕事" です

If I were answering, I would say it's the same all over the world:

視聴者が "レディ・セット・エイゴ" という ゲームをくれました

the most important job is often overlooked.

挑戦します

So one of our viewers sent us a game he had made called "Ready, Set, Eigo" card game.

楽しみです

We're going to try it.

言葉に合うカードを切る

I don't know how it is, but maybe it's something we can recommend.

3・2・1

You have to flip a card and then you have to match from the things in your hand.

"遅い"

3, 2, 1... It is slow

馬は遅い？

Are horses slow?

猫は遅くない

No, cats are not slow.

猫は素早いよ！

They are so fast, Joshua!

誰もカードが無いね

Alright, I don't think anybody has it.

次はサラ

OK Sarah, do the next one...

”強い”

It is strong...

- 馬は強い？ - そうだね

Ah!

馬車を引けるし

Are horses strong? Horses are strong.

キックバックして

They can pull things. So you get that one.

"スーパーにある"

They can kick back. OK, good job Anna.

ベッカ 速い！

It's in the supermarket

"長い"

Oh Becca, fast!

紙？

It's long.

刀！

Paper? A sword!

お見事！

Good job! I think so.

サラは1枚残っているね

Sarah has one card left, can she get rid of it?

"7文字"

It has seven letters. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...no! Only 6.

1・2・3・4・5・6…

Coconut

ココナッツ

It's seven. That is seven!

7文字

It has an "O"

"「O」がある"

Daddy did that with one hand!

片手だよ

I have two cards left, Sarah has one!

僕は残り2枚 サラは1枚です

It can jump.

"ジャンプできる"

Wait... I don't think pigs jump.

- 待って - 豚は無理だよ

Wait, yes it does! It can jump a little!

うそ？できるよ！

I've never seen a pig jump!

豚のジャンプなんて 見たことないわ！

It can fly, ah ha ha!

"飛べる"

Oh Sarah wins!! No that wasn't fair!

サラの勝ち！

She did it like this and I couldn't even see it!

見えなかったよ！

No, I saw it.

見えたわ

Sarah, good job! You won our first game of "Ready Set Eigo"

サラ お見事！ 最初の勝者だね！

Can we do it again? Yea, let's try it again.

もう1回

There is a job that is so important that you never retire from it, and you never stop doing it.

定年退職のない 大事な仕事があります

Vocations come and go with the seasons, but this job remains even after your time on earth is done.

職業には流行りもありますが この仕事は不変です

It looks like the girls are coming home from school.

学校から帰ってきました

Momma chan! Oh man, go for it Momma chan!

ママちゃん！

Oh my! Don't hurt Momma!

頑張って ママちゃん！

Oh wow!

怪我させないで

Yes, this job is of course is parenting,

すごい！

and before you dismiss this as the most important job, just think about it:

その仕事は "子育て" です

without parents there would be no more human race.

考えてみて下さい

Loud like thunder!

親がいなければ 誰も存在できません！

I tell you what, some nights are just so beautiful,

雷みたい！

I look outside the window, I see the clouds, I see the sunset,

夜も綺麗ですが

And I'm like "I just got to get out there!"

夕陽と雲も綺麗です

That's not a special filter — that's really happening right there.

外に出ずにいられない気分です

The most important things in life are often the easiest to take for granted:

フィルター無しの景色です

like a beautiful sunset or time spent together as a family.

人生で大事な事は 時にシンプルです

If we are too busy doing other things

美しい夕陽や 家族で過ごす時間

then our priorities are not right and we will suffer the consequences sooner or later.

忙しさの中で 当たり前の時間が取れない事もありますが

But keep these things in balance, and life is its' own great reward.

良い優先順位こそが 幸せの源泉です

What's happening? What's happening?

何してるの？

I'm videoing Rebecca. She's cutting her bangs now.

本当に？

Eh?! She's doing it for real?!

ベッカが前髪を切ったね！

Becster-Booster did it! Oh my goodness, Momma chan!

様々な研究から 成功の源は教育や出身ではなく

The most exhaustive and conclusive studies have shown

良い家族関係にあると 分かっています

that the biggest indicator of success doesn't come from your education, your race or your gender

待って！

it comes from a well-structured home life.

すごい！

Wait!

待って！

Oh my goodness! Anna wait for me!

それは？

What is it Anna?

どうした？！

What is this?!

この服は？

What is this for?! Karate.

空手

Karate. Karate?!

どうかな

I don't know...

それは？

What! What? Do you do Karate in school?

空手の授業？

Do you do Karate in school? Oh!

空手の授業？

And Becca! Whoa! This is my Karate...

ベッカ！うわあ！

How about that?

僕も空手！

Oh yea, that looks pretty intense!

できる？

A well-structured home is a place of joy, one in which life moves forward with purpose

強そうだね！

It doesn't just happen by itself and it isn't the responsibility of the government or schools.

良い家族関係には 喜びがあります

This is quite the Zumba fest going on here.

学校では学べない 大事なことです

Even Sarah's doing it!

ズンバの練習中

Sarah hates Zumba! She's doing a good job though!

サラもしてる！

A strong family is built on a strong marriage,

- サラは嫌いなのに - 上手だよ！

and for a strong marriage, you've got to prioritize one another

良い家庭は 良い夫婦関係から

and take time out of your busy life to celebrate the milestones along the way.

夫婦の関係を育むには

Election time.

時にはお祝いも大切です

Well we've come down to Shinjuku to celebrate our 19-year anniversary!

選挙

Nineteen years married, wow! That's a long time.

全国のパパとママちゃんを尊敬します！ 子育ては当たり前のようですが

We know it's not easy and parenting is often overlooked,

良い家族あっての社会です

but the foundation of a great society is strong families.

良い家庭は 素晴らしい親達の働きの上に 成り立ちます

And strong families are built by people who have the greatest job anywhere in the world

地震訓練

Going to school! What are you going to do today?

大事だね

Practice major earthquake.

大地震じゃないかも

Oh yea that's important, isn't it?

先生が水を飲んでって言ってた

Maybe it's not major but I just call it major.

水を沢山？

The teacher said to drink a lot of water

土曜日に登校？

Oh, drink a lot of water? Yeah.

月曜日は？

Everyone was scared, and me, because of the big earthquake.

怖かった？

It wasn't real.

大地震を思い浮かべると 怖いよね

Oh, but it wasn't real though, huh?

初めての避難訓練ね

Why was everyone scared?
