Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

きのうは、
東京都(とうきょうと)
大阪府(おおさか)
広島県(ひろしまけん)などの、

府(ふ)や、県(けん)の話をしました！

今日はなぜ大阪と京都だけ、"県"ではなく、"府"というのか話します。

まず、昔はほかの場所(ばしょ)も"府"と言っていました。
それを1868年に、

首都(しゅと)は東京都、

重要(じゅうよう)な場所(ばしょ)として、
京都府、大阪府。

そのほかを"県"にする、

と決めたそうです。

大阪は商売(しょうばい)で大切なところでした。

京都は「京都御所」(きょうとごしょ)という、

天皇(てんのう)が、住んでいたところがあります。

なので、この２つが特別(とくべつ)だったんですね。

東京都、京都府、大阪府、
そのほかは、神奈川県、福岡県などの

"県"といいます。

あれ、もつひとつ・・

北海道(ほっかいどう)がありますね！！

北海道は、県でも、府でもありません！！

北海道もとくべつで、北海道といいます。

北海(ほっかい)ではないので、気をつけて下さいね。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日！

Crush Chaos, Own Your Career: 5 Hacks for Women Who Do It All

Oh, that glorious chaos of adulting! Left hand typing reports, right hand folding laundry, one foot meal-prepping, and the other chasing a toddler. “Balance”? More like “survival mode.” But fear not—I’ve cracked the code. As a self-proclaimed “balance wizard,” here’s my cheat sheet:

1️⃣ Daily ‘Mini-Vacation’
Steal 30 minutes every day for pure joy: a book, Netflix, doodling, or staring at trees. Non-negotiable. (Your sanity will thank you.)

2️⃣ People > To-Do Lists
Swap “productivity guilt” for real moments with loved ones. Pro tip: Laughing with friends recharges you faster than 10 coffees.

3️⃣ Perfectionism? Kick It to the Curb
Repeat after me: “Done > Perfect.” Your boss won’t notice the typo. But burnout? Oh, they’ll notice that.

4️⃣ Master the Art of “NOPE”
Not your emergency? Not your problem. Boundaries = freedom. (And fewer 3 AM Slack pings.)

5️⃣ Phone? Gone on Weekends
Activate “ghost mode.” No emails. No doomscrolling. Just living. (Spoiler: The world won’t collapse.)

Your Turn, Balance Warriors!
What’s your secret to surviving the corporate circus? Share below! 🎪✨

P.S. If all else fails… chocolate.

Episode 8: Sports Around the World

In this story, a snowman named Jingle is a selfish husband whose job is more important than his marriage. This is Part 4 of 5. 

The dance group had met in the morning for a quick rehearsal. Today was their last day to practice before the big show. 

Even though the other dancers commented that it was already good enough, Jingle and the winking snowwoman worked very hard on their close embrace. 

Then, while everyone was packing up, getting ready to go distribute their flyers… 

Ding-ding ding-ding 

The ringing came from behind Jingle. He said, “Ugh… Doesn’t Candy know how stressed I am? What does she want now?” 

He turned, but instead of his wife, he saw his snowman neighbour. Confused, Jingle went over to talk. 

“You look disturbed,” said Jingle. 

“It’s Candy. She’s been hit by a car.” 

Jingle was shocked. He noticed the neighbour was holding a candy cane. 

“This is her cane. I picked it up after the accident. I immediately called an ambulance and she was taken straight to the hospital. It’s bad, Jingle, really bad. Come with me, let’s go together.” 

Jingle hesitated. He looked at the candy cane, then at the dance group in the distance. Then back at the candy cane. 

“Thank you for bringing me this. But I can’t go with you. I’ve got to distribute these flyers today. It’s our last chance, and the whole group is counting on me. They need me. Tell Candy I’ll be there after work.”
