Cinderella Girls Theater 劇場第222話『新年ガールズトーク』 Theater Episode 222 - New Year's girls talk

In Rio we celebrate with fireworks, but Japan's New Year is silent?

Is that so? Even during Japanese New Year there are some pretty showy things here and there!

What about Osechi-ryouri? Isn't it quite exquisite? Osechi-ryouri is a specially prepared dishes eaten on New Year's. They are pretty expensive and a lot of its ingredients has some kind of symbolical meaning.

The Japanese alcohol in osechi... indeed is quite a thing, isn't it...

And what about flying the kites? When a lot of them line up, they look so splendid and exhilarating!

Fried octopus... Sounds like it would go just perfect with sake, doesn't it... Both 凧 (kite) and たこ (octopus) are pronounced the same.

That's it! I still haven't seen shishimai, ya know! Shishimai is the form of traditional dance with dancers wearing a costume like the one shown in this panel.

Natalia loves the dance of shishimai!

Drinking goes much more smoothly on joyous occasions, doesn't it...

...Shino-san, what exactly is the reason for mentioning alcohol?

In January, you can drink it at New Year's.

All Shino ever does is drinking!
