みんな元気？
今日は少しもう時間たっちゃったけど、大晦日について少し話したいと思います。
みんなは大晦日何した？
多分出身の地域とか今住んでる場所とか家族によっても全然違うと思うけど、果たしてみんなはどのように大晦日を過ごしましたか？
あっ、もしかしたらこれを聞いてくれてる人の中に『大晦日』ってなんぞや？って思ってる人もいるかもしれないから、説明するね！
大晦日は12月31日のことで、英語だとNew Year’s Eve ですね。
日本人にとっては一年で最も大切な日の一つで、まぁ人にもよるけど、結構みんな伝統的なことをして家族と過ごすことが多いですねぇ。
んで、大晦日にする伝統的なこととはなんぞや？というと、例えば『年越しそば』っていう大晦日限定で食べる蕎麦を食べたり、『紅白歌合戦』って言う日本の大晦日に毎年テレビで流れてる70年以上続いてる番組を見る人も多いし、これは結構色んな国の人がやってると思うけど、いろんな人と集まってテレビを見たりお酒を飲んだりしながらカウントダウンをしてる人たちもいます！
俺は行ったことないんだけど、カウントダウンに合わせて花火が打ち上がる結構大きな花火大会をやっているところもあるみたいですね。
そうそう、日本の大晦日はだいたいみんなこんな感じで時間を過ごすんだけど、俺はどうやって去年の大晦日を過ごしたかって言う話だよね。
実は俺去年の大晦日ははスウェーデンから追い出されて間もなかったから『あぁ、早く嫁と猫たちにあいてぇぇ』って思ってて精神的にかなり落ち込んでた時期だったんだけど、そんな時に日本の友達が集まって一緒に集まって筋トレしてくれて、彼らに筋肉をバチバチに壊されたから、肉体的にはかなりキツかったけど、精神的にはかなり気持ちよくなってたんだよね。
んで、少し気分が楽になった後は、お世話になってるおばあちゃんちに帰ったんだけど、おばあちゃんが年越しそばを作って待っててくれて、そのあったかくて信じられないくらい美味しいお蕎麦を食べて余計に元気になりました。おばあちゃん、ありがとう、マジで感謝してます。
んで、そばを食べた後はね、俺もカウントダウンまで起きてよっかなって思ってたんだけど、おばあちゃんの美味しいあったかいそばのせいでめっっっちゃ眠くなってきちゃったから、日本人にとってはかなり大事な日であるはずなのに、俺は普通の日となにも変わらずに10時頃にぐっすり寝ました。
もうおっさんだよね完全に。
全然起きてられないんだもん。
悔しいけど俺の大晦日はこんな感じだったな。
みんなはニューイヤーズ・イブ、a.k.a大晦日は何してた？
ぜひ俺に教えてね！待ってます！
それじゃあ今日も聞いてくれてありがとうございました。
また次回のエピソードでお会いしましょう！
じゃ、またね！
バイバイ！


Super Casual Japanese with Teppei

🎌What did you do on New Years Eve? - 大晦日は何した？

For the second year in a row, Taylor Swift has been named Spotify's most-played artist.

The streaming service has released its annual overview of individual listening trends as well as trends from around the world — called Spotify Wrapped.

Users can now see their top artists, songs, genres, albums and podcasts, as well as uncover which artists had the biggest year on the platform.

Swift was 2024's most-streamed artist globally, ranking in more than 26.6 billion streams. She was followed by The Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish.

Swift also earned the title of most-streamed album in 2024, with The Tortured Poets Department, while Sabrina Carpenter had the most-streamed song both in the US and globally this year, with her summer hit "Espresso." It was streamed more than 1.6 billion times.

For users who want to look back at their listening habits over the year, there were some new features to explore on Spotify Wrapped.

These include a new data story called "Your Music Evolution," which shows three distinct musical phases for each user, and a personalized playlist based on them.

People like to share their Spotify Wrapped data on social media, although this year some complained that the roundup was missing certain features they'd previously enjoyed.

Streaming now accounts for most of the money generated by the music industry — 84% in the United States, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, and 67.3% around the world, according to a 2024 report by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which tracks global sales.

Spotify is the largest platform of all with a reported 626 million users and 246 million subscribers.

What's the Best Way to Practice English?

Crowds of people queued up at Australia's Royal Sydney Botanic Garden on January 23, with some people waiting as long as three hours.

And for what?

A very smelly flower.

The titan arum, known as the "corpse flower," is a tall, pointed plant that releases an unpleasant smell when it blooms. The smell has been likened to things like decaying flesh, gym socks or rotting garbage.

The endangered plant is only found in the Sumatran rainforests in Indonesia, where there are thought to be fewer than 300 of them. It only blooms every 7 to 10 years in its natural habitat.

"The fact that they open very rarely, so they flower rarely, is obviously something that puts them at a little bit of a disadvantage in the wild," said Sophie Daniel from the Royal Sydney Botanic Garden. "When they open, they have to hope that another flower is open nearby, because they can't self-pollinate."

The flower at the botanic garden is the first to bloom there in 15 years, and she's been named Putricia — a combination of "putrid" and "Patricia" — by her fans.

Putricia's online fandom grew quickly and globally. A 24/7 live stream established by the botanic garden drew close to a million views in under a week, and people on social media planned to hurry to the garden as the plant opened. In just 24 hours, Putricia's bloom — and her stench — would be gone.

As she opened, the plant heated to 37 degrees Celsius to better spread her scent. In the wild, the smell tricks pollinators into landing on what they think is rotten meat and spreading pollen between flowers.

Up to 20,000 people filed past for a moment in her pungent presence, leaning in for a sniff or taking selfies.

It was difficult to say why the flower attracted such a following — but perhaps the answer lay in the "reverence" viewers felt in the presence of "such an amazing living being," Daniel said.
