Japanese Word of the Day - January 2017
New Year's has come again! This is also the month Japan celebrates 20 year olds, which is the age one becomes an adult here. So is it a new year and new you ... or is it back to the same old routine? Don’t let it get you down, just grab a drink (age-appropriate, of course) and keep up the good work!
