Ep.74 Past and Present of Wishes on Tanzaku

For some reason, I find myself looking up at the sky during the Tanabata season.

This time of year makes it easy to see the night sky clearly, and thinking about the Milky Way and Tanabata events naturally gets us excited. The two personalities also engage in witty banter about the beauty of the starry sky seen during Tanabata and the fate of the bamboo and sasa used for hanging tanzaku.

I am curious about couples talking while looking at their smartphones.

There is a lively discussion about the sense of distance between couples sitting next to each other and chatting while looking at each other's smartphone screens, which is a common sight lately. It is amusing how the personalities make humorous remarks about this unique style of conversing while operating their respective smartphones without facing each other.

If you were to write a wish on a tanzaku, what would you write?

In the middle of the program, the conversation progresses to the familiar theme of what to write on a Tanabata tanzaku. Starting from the talk about how, unlike when we were children, adults tend to think of realistic wishes, the conversation develops even further, but please listen to the main episode for the rest.
