Winter song
Non-language related notes on today’s song because I really liked it! It was very catchy and uplifting! So I got curious about the band and googled Drop Dead Dolls to see who they were and found out they’re a virtual idol group! That’s a first for me to ever encounter! I was pretty surprised, though I know I shouldn’t have been since anime is such a huge thing in Japan. It should only make sense they’d have anime virtual idol groups. I might try this at a karaoke once. Seems like an easy enough song to sing!
On a side note, the first time a googled, some scary dolls came up on the search and freaked me out. Not nice… 
I have a lingering fear of dolls from childhood…

Oh why hello there! Learned this first from Day 4 of the origami advent calendar and we’re now circling back! Yay!
So many words of interest already shared by @omk3! Pretty surprised at the variety of this kanji. Two more to add to the list:
- 鶴亀鶴亀 knock on wood
- 鶴首 looking forward to

@omk3 I tried to look into it more but couldn’t find any references at all. I’m so curious… I’ll ask my japanese teacher the next time I have class and let you know!
