【Setsubun TODAY!】“Demons Out! Luck In!”
Saori(゜∇ ゜) “Hello everyone! Speaking of February 3rd?! It’s Saori from Otaku Republic! The answer is…. YES! I get paid for the special bonus!”
Boss( 'ω') “Hello everyone. It’s the day when we have a special event called【Setsubun(節分)】. It’s not the day when Saori gets paid for the special bonus.”
Speaking of Demons? THIS Chara! “Demons Out! Luck In!” A Special Number for “Setsubun”!
Saori(゜∇ ゜) “Why isn’t that the day when I get paid for my special bonus????”
Boss( 'ω') “You’ll get paid for another day, I guess.”
Saori(゜∇ ゜) “Oh, then it’s okay! Well, it’s Setsubun today, Feb 3rd! What is the Setsubun in Japan like…”
Setsubun (before the beginning of spring in Japan) used to be a special time because spring was a sort of New Year’s Eve, and so was accompanied by a special ritual to cleanse away all the evil of the former year and drive away disease-bringing evil spirits for the year to come.
Boss( 'ω') “What do we do on that day? It’s called ‘mamemaki (bean scattering)’. Roasted soybeans are thrown (of course gently) either out the door or at a member of the family wearing an Oni (demon or ogre) mask, while people say ‘Demons out! Luck in!’ and slam the door. The beans are thought to symbolically purify the home by driving away the evil spirits that bring misfortune and bad health with them, bringing good luck for the year to come.”
Saori(゜∇ ゜) “By the way, in Ensemble Stars!, they held the Setsubun event! We usually hold this event in February in Japan. We see this event in some social games too!”
※He is shooting with beans instead of bullets.
Boss( 'ω') “And after mamemaki, we eat the rolled sushi called Ehōmaki (lucky direction roll), composed of seven ingredients considered to be lucky. We usually eat it while facing the direction (west-southwest) considered to be auspicious that year.”
Saori(゜∇ ゜) “Recently, some Japanese people make Ehōmaki, made with sweets for those who don’t like rolled sushi, such as small kids. Yes, that’s called a roll cake, huh?”
Saori(゜∇ ゜) “So today! Specializing with Setsubun! Speaking of【Demons】, THIS Chara! So you guys, what kind of Chara, related with demons, would you imagine~!?”
