Sazae-san [Part 2]

Today, I will finish yesterday's entry.

The Japanese national animation "Sazae-san" is broadcasted in the evening every Sunday.

Some Japanese people become depressed after watching Sazae-san, because they have to go to school/work next day.

This symptom is sometimes called "Sazae-san syndrome," which is similar to "Blue Monday Syndrome."

Also, it is said that you can predict changes of Japanese economy by observing the viewer ratings of Sazae-san.

This is because if the economy improve, people will go to eat outside the home on Sunday evenings, and the viewer ratings of Sazae-san will drop.

To tell you the truth, I don't think that this animation is very fun, but you can see it with a light heart.

If you come to Japan, please be sure to watch it.

サザエさん [Part 2]

今日は日本の国民的アニメ「サザエさん」のトピックの続きです。

サザエさんは、毎週日曜日の夕方に放送されています。

このため、我々はサザエさんを見ると、翌日から通学・仕事をしないといけないという鬱な気分になることがあります。

この現象をサザエさん症候群と呼ぶそうです（ブルーマンデー症候群と同様）。

また、サザエさんの視聴率の変動によって、景気の変動を予測できるとも言われています。

景気が良くなると日曜夕方の外食率が増加し、サザエさんの視聴率が下がるというわけです。

正直に言うと、特別面白いというわけではありませんが、穏やかな気分で何気なく見ることができるアニメだと思います。

日本に来た時は、是非ご覧になって下さい。
