様態の副詞

This is another New Year's in Japan with my parents-in-law All right, so i'm back here in Aichi at Maiko's parents house for the New Year's same thing that we do as always But hopefully it's not going to be as dramatic as last year because that one was quite scary But hopefully nothing happens in this New Year's like that.

今年も日本のお正月は義理の両親と一緒だ。さて、私は愛知に戻り、マイコの実家でいつもと同じお正月を迎える。

But like always let's start in the beginning.

しかし、いつものように最初から始めよう。

程度の副詞

Oh, you like a baby So for New Year's in Japan, everyone usually travels to their hometown between December 28th to January 4th Kind of like christmas in the west so bullet trains are packed like a t-swift concert this year Even reserve seats were fully booked and non-reserve seats were at 100% to 200% capacity Although we booked the month in advance.

日本のお正月は、例年12月28日から1月4日にかけて地元に帰省するのが恒例となっている。

The only option for us was the luxury green seats.

私たちにとって唯一の選択肢は、豪華なグリーンシートだった。

Not a bad option though Show me your favorite food.

好きな食べ物を教えてください。

It's is my favorite snack And since we've been traveling quite a lot this year wolfie's become unnatural using his ic card to ride the shikansen and more than other Trips this year.

それに今年は旅行が多かったから、カミさんがicカードで新幹線に乗るのが不自然になった。

He's super excited to see his grandparents.

彼は祖父母に会うのをとても楽しみにしている。

You'll see why in a bit Foreign All right, so this time around we're doing it a little bit earlier than last year and the other years as well so Shouldn't be as busy.

その理由は、もう少ししたらわかると思う。 さて、今回は昨年や他の年よりも少し早めにやるので、それほど忙しくはないはずだ。

Hopefully Oh Before heading to the house, we stopped by the supermarket although maiko's parents already got some new year's stuff We wanted to pick up some supplies and you know some comfort food to make our stay even more chill Prices here compared to tokyo the same the same to be honest What did you guys get we got a bunch of snacks and like my friend's kids are coming tomorrow They are a different age than wolfie.

家に行く前に、スーパーに寄ったんだ。舞子の両親はすでにお正月用品を買っていたんだけど、僕たちは消耗品と、僕たちの滞在をより快適にするための快適な食べ物を買おうと思ったんだ。

So i'm not really sure what they eat Wolfie wolfie.

だから、彼らが何を食べているのかよくわからない。

This is for wolfie  That's maiko's dad aka gg You need help One two three This year we're doing mochi tsuki meaning rice cake pounding a traditional japanese year end activity That typically happens around the 30th in this area since we came early this year Wolfie gets to experience it for the first time a little bit I know though that the stone used is quite heavy weighing about 49 kilograms about 110 pounds So gg and I needed to work together to get it set up.

今年は餅つきをするんだ。日本の伝統的な年末の行事で、この辺りでは30日前後に行われるのが一般的なんだけど、今年は早めに来たから、ウルフィーは初めて体験できるんだ。

Anyways, i'm hoping that all goes well tomorrow Is But it's like mochi and anko and strawberry so it's kind of similar to what we're doing tomorrow Yeah On our first night We kept it simple knowing that we had a lot of new year's activities ahead of us We chilled at home and caught up on what's been going on in our lives, you know the huge Oh So I know it isn't the new year just yet here when i'm filming it But by the time you guys do watch this it will be the new year.

でも、お餅とあんこといちごみたいなものだから、明日やることと似てるかもしれないね。 最初の夜は、新年の活動がたくさんあることを知りながら、シンプルに過ごした。

So many things happened I've got my telly's coffee good old faithful here Anyways, um, it is about 6 30 this morning.

I woke up a little bit later than usual today We have a lot of stuff planned We will be making mochi in the backyard michael's friends are coming over and I think her friend has two kids So we'll see how wolfie gets along with them.

今日はいつもより少し遅めに起きたんだ。いろいろ予定があるんだ。裏庭で餅つきをする予定。マイケルの友達が来るんだけど、彼女の友達には子供が2人いると思う。

You know, the end of the year is always kind of like bittersweet There's like so many things that like I wanted to do that I never got accomplished but then there are things that I did accomplish that i'm like super happy about One of the things is just going to new york and being able to see all of you guys That was actually one of the highlights of the year if you guys didn't see it It was in my day in the life of me video.

年末はいつもほろ苦いものだ。やりたかったことがたくさんあるのに、それを成し遂げられなかったこともある。

Okay, let's get the day started What happened you break it.

Oh, yeah, I break it with my bike So I need to fix it We'll have to tell grandpa later.

そうそう、バイクで壊しちゃったんだ。

よし、これ以上折れるのはやめよう。

Okay Yeah So today's the day we're throwing down on some mochi But since we have some time before it starts I decided to take wolfie to the park and play with a drone that his grandparents gave him for christmas.

でも始まるまで時間があるから、カミさんを公園に連れて行って、祖父母からクリスマスにもらったドローンで遊ばせることにしたんだ。

Yeah, you see a honda So one of the things with wolfie these days he's starting to memorize all of the different cars and their makers Hold on Nice good work Second try this is a toy drone.

そう、ホンダだ。だから最近のウルフィーは、いろいろな車とそのメーカーを覚え始めている。

So not sure how it's gonna fly compared to my gta, but i'm not expecting much.

だから、僕のGTAと比べてどう飛ぶかはわからないけど、あまり期待はしていない。

Oh, no Wow, that didn't go as expected daddy.

いやあ、パパの期待通りにはいかなかったね。

分かっているけど、風が強いんだ。

We got to go all the way over there So These toy drones are a menace.

このおもちゃのドローンは脅威だ。

They don't hover in place You can like adjust it but then once you adjust it a little bit then it starts to go the other way.

調整することはできるけど、少し調整すると、逆に動き始めるんだ。

So definitely Difficult to fly maybe it's actually meant to be flown indoors and it was like no wind at all I think maybe i'll just let him fly my drone.

だから、飛ばすのが難しいのは間違いない。もしかしたら、室内で飛ばすことを想定しているのかもしれないし、まったく風がなかったから、彼に僕のドローンを飛ばしてもらおうと思う。

その方が安全だし、そうでないかもしれない。

Maybe it's just not a good idea in general i'm gonna go back What's this it's for the mochi Okay Maiko decided to make ohagi a rice ball wrapped with red beans for the little kids today As it's apparently not recommended in japan for toddlers to eat mochi surprisingly in japan over 3500 people died from choking on mochi in 2022 alone a majority of the deaths were elderly but kids under five also made up a significant number Hence, it's fairly common knowledge for japanese parents to be ultra cautious when feeding mochi to kids So yeah to say the least choking would be a terrible way to start the new year Ah So this is a very very typical japanese end of the new year as i've said before kind of like the new year here in japan is Similar to like if you were in the west where like christmas and all the families get together in japan It's like the opposite like christmas is not such a big thing But like the new year is the families that will get together.

日本では幼児にお餅を食べさせることは推奨されていないようです。驚くことに日本では2022年だけで3500人以上がお餅を喉に詰まらせて亡くなっています、日本の親が子供にお餅を食べさせるときは超慎重になるのは常識だから、窒息死は控えめに言っても新年早々ひどい話だ。

So maiko's sister's gonna be coming here Maybe junya maiko's friend is actually coming here as well.

舞子の妹がここに来るんだね。もしかしたら、純也舞子の友達もここに来るかもしれない。

And it looks like the rice over there is doing like a little jiggle Why is it?

そして、あそこにある米が小刻みに動いているように見える。

Oh, wow, look at this The rice is dancing, huh?

おお、ワオ、これを見てくれ、米が踊っているじゃないか。

Oh Okay in japan rice itself is considered sacred and believed to house divine spirits food made from rice such as mochi and sake Are seen as spiritually powerful and so are often eaten during celebratory occasions with the biggest event being new years So mochi's ski became customary in japan to welcome the new year's god and to pray for blessings of happiness for the year ahead Oh So making mochi requires a bit of teamwork which helps foster unity and family bonding making it an even more memorable New year's event and since it's wolfie's and my first time ever experiencing it It's even more special for us and something maybe we can turn into a tradition for our family in years to come Turn on the heater.

なるほど、日本では米そのものが神聖なものとされ、神霊が宿ると信じられている。だから、餅つきにはちょっとしたチームワークが必要で、それが団結力と家族の絆を育み、より思い出深いお正月の行事になる。

Yeah, i'm so cold That's maiko's friend and her kids I Went to the same high school with her and they haven't seen each other for quite some time So they're super excited to see each other today Here you go all that hard work for this beautiful surprise mochi got some kinako here as well Oh We never had mochi it's kind of just like a very sticky rice that's been mashed up japanese And it looks like wolfie is getting along with my my kids as you may know We don't have a big family with many relatives in japan So we sometimes feel bad for wolfie that he doesn't get to experience it That said when we do get the opportunity like today to spend time with other families We're very grateful for the opportunity seriously Some of my fondest memories growing up was spending time with my large extended family during the holidays Oh, and these days grandpa is into gardening and growing vegetables.

うん、寒いね 舞子の友達とその子供たちだよ 舞子と同じ高校に通っていて、久しぶりに会うから、今日会えるのをすごく楽しみにしてるんだ お待たせしました サプライズもちです きなこも入ってます お餅は食べたことないんだけど、もち米をすりつぶしたようなもので、日本風なんだ。ご存知のように、私たちは日本に親戚がたくさんいるような大家族ではないので、ウルフルには日本での生活を経験させることができず、かわいそうに思うこともある、最近のおじいちゃんはガーデニングと野菜作りに夢中なんだ。

So the kids got to experience farming firsthand It's something you really don't get a chance to do in tokyo.

東京ではなかなかできないことだ。

So it's cool that grandpa planned this unique experience for them Hey, wouldn't it be nice to eat those now instead of those snacks Itachi I love the positivity, but we'll see Hit okoyama Yogurt or donut You Bring them back.

だから、このユニークな体験を計画したおじいちゃんもクールだよ。

Little baby So What a lot of people don't know is that these Labels or lids or whatever you call them are designed so that the yogurt doesn't stick to it So when you take it off, it should be clean it like this I I Heard you are not here.

多くの人が知らないのは、このラベルというかフタというか、そういうものはヨーグルトがくっつかないようにデザインされているということ。

I Send it to our home arranged Transfer we should come tomorrow.

明日、我が家に転送を手配した。

All right, so here we go this morning We are gonna do a little boys trip to the onsen The girls are gonna go shopping at the supermarket this morning to get some more food You know when you go to the onsen is there's gonna be a lot of people you have to listen to daddy, okay So we are this is the first time You know He knows after several years So it took him about five minutes to explain what an onsen is I was a little bit annoyed at first.

よし、じゃあ今朝は温泉旅行だ。女の子はスーパーに買い出しに行くんだ。温泉は人が多いから、パパの言うことを聞かなきゃいけない。

I absolutely cherish these moments Okay, so what I was trying to say earlier is this is the first time we are doing onsen here Even though you know, we've been here several times now Maybe we can make this a tradition with the three boys going out and doing our thing They have some food there too.

だから、さっき言いたかったのは、ここで温泉に入るのは今回が初めてだってこと。

So we might be able to grab some lunch together I don't think I'll be able to film inside the onsen.

だから、一緒に昼食を取ることができるかもしれない。

But anyways We will kind of just see how this one goes Wow, this place is a lot bigger than I thought Now for those of you who haven't been following the channel that closely this year I kind of fell in love with a whole sauna and cold bath experience And fortunately for me, this place apparently was recently renovated.

でもとにかく、この一件がどうなるか、ちょっと様子を見ることにしよう。 いやあ、ここは思っていたよりずっと広いね。今年、このチャンネルをあまりよく見ていない人のために言っておくと、僕はサウナと水風呂の体験に恋してしまったんだ。

Although I can't show you inside for obvious reasons Here are some pictures It has decent indoor and outdoor facilities a large sauna and one of the cold baths was 6.8 degrees Celsius about 44 degrees Fahrenheit.

明らかな理由で内部をお見せすることはできないが、ここに何枚かの写真がある。屋内と屋外にきちんとした設備があり、大きなサウナもある。

It was so refreshing and it all worked out cuz Gigi and I switched off hanging out with Wolfie.

とてもリフレッシュできたし、ジジと私はウルフィーと一緒にいるのをやめた。

ここにはたくさんの機械があるんだ！

Very good How long did it take to make the sauna?

とても良い サウナ作りにかかった時間は？

10 minutes So we just finished having our sauna.

10分 だからサウナを終えたところだ。

Like this place is like a one-stop shop It has everything what I like is, you know If you order you can just use these your keypad thing to like buy everything I think this is something that we can probably do every year You know, it starts one time second time third time makes it a tradition We just gotta like keep on doing this because that was awesome Oh, oh no, did it get in your eye?

この店はワンストップショップのようなもので、何でも揃っている。

Our goal is to finish it at 6 I am the Haizenga party lady person I am the Isugakari I did that chair Chef, how was this year's dish?

私たちの目標は6時に食べ終わることです。私はハイゼンガ・パーティーのレディーです。

This year's dish is karaage So karaage Let's eat karaage now This is rice oil Welcome back It's been a while It's been a while How have you been?

今年の一品は「からあげ」 だからからあげ 今すぐからあげを食べよう こめ油です おかえりなさい お久しぶりです お久しぶりです お元気でしたか？

You've become a little more mature He's reading my mind Okay, so now that grandma aka Baba has her two sous-chefs, dinner prep seems to be picking up So what have you been up to lately?

ちょっと大人っぽくなったね。私の心を読んでいるみたい。そうそう、おばあちゃん、通称ババにはスーシェフが2人ついて、夕食の準備がはかどりそうだ。

では、給料は上がっているのか？

Are you still doing the local fire brigade?

まだ地元の消防団をやっているんですか？

Thank you Since we are doing karaage tonight Take some of my Paolo from Tokyo hot sauce here Mix it with some Kewpie mayonnaise and some ketchup Take the sauce here Throw it in like that Put some of the sauce in there Mix it around like this Happy New Year, everyone It's crazy just to think that we were here just a year ago And all of that bad stuff happened in Noto Peninsula Still hoping that all of those people got some help, got some relief Because that was pretty devastating We got the sauce all made up Give this to grandpa later and see how he likes it Got some ketchup here as well If you guys got your hot sauce Try it out with some mayonnaise Mix it with some ketchup That kind of helps mellow out some of that fire For those who can't take all that fire Made only here in Japan, in Niigata And ships all over the world All the way through our warehouse in California Now that dinner is ready Maiko's dad gives his famous New Year's speech At Maiko's family home New Year's Eve dinner is a cherished tradition And the menu never changes Sashimi, grilled yellowtail, shikuzeni Japanese egg pudding, herring roe Vinegared octopus and sea cucumber Oh yeah, and her mom makes me fried chicken It's a feast that closely mirrors Japanese Iconic osechi dishes Typically enjoyed on January 1st But in true Nagano fashion They savor it on New Year's Eve instead Blending tradition with a local twist Gigi, do you want to try the spicy mayo?

今夜は唐揚げだから、パオロ・フロム・トーキョーのホットソースをここに持ってきて キューピーのマヨネーズとケチャップと混ぜて ここにあるソースをこうやって投げ入れて ソースを少し入れてこうやって混ぜて 新年あけましておめでとうございます 皆さん、ちょうど1年前に能登半島で大変なことが起きたと思うと気が狂いそうです、このソースをおじいちゃんにあげたら喜んでくれるかな？ ケチャップもあるよ もしホットソースを手に入れたら、マヨネーズとケチャップを混ぜてみて、新潟で作られ、カリフォルニアの倉庫を経由して世界中に出

Yeah Fried Mayonnaise Junior, want to try it?

マヨネーズ・ジュニア、食べてみる？

Just right So after dinner This is what the typical Japanese thing to do Is just to watch TV for the rest of the night Until people go down to the shrine But we're not doing that tonight We're just going to be watching TV For the rest of the night Traditionally in Japan, New Year's Eve Is the one day you're supposed to stay up And welcome the New Year's God And if you sleep early, it's said that you'll get white hair I guess we're going to have to take our chances this year Maiko's dad is enjoying A hot bowl of ozoni A traditional Japanese soup made with mochi A customary dish to start the New Year Happy New Year, Maiko What do you think about the New Year?

ちょうどいい 夕食後、神社に行くまでテレビを見るのが日本人の典型的な過ごし方だが、今夜はそんなことはしない、麻衣子のお父さんがお雑煮を食べている。お雑煮はお餅を入れた日本の伝統的な汁物で、新年を迎えるための伝統的な料理だ。

あなたの人生はどう変わりましたか？

I forgot to send out a lot of my work I got a message It's like, I'm eating for the holidays I'll fix it And start the New Year's Maiko though Realized she missed her toshikoshi soba Which is typically eaten the night before The soba noodle symbolizes longevity And good health, so she's trying to make up for it By having it now Thank you very much Thank you for taking care of me Thank you Thank you for taking care of me What did you get?
