10 THINGS I WANT TO DO BEFORE I TURN 40 Episode 2

[raikantopenis]

I wanted to break down the first scene in 10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40 / 40 Made ni Shitai 10 no Koto because there is some loaded meaning to this.

To celebrate his birthday, Suzume buys a strawberry shortcake, which is half price off, as indicated by the yellow and red sticker on the plastic cover of the box. He refers to the cake as a Christmas cake because in Japan, strawberry shortcakes are essentially The Christmas Cake. As his birthday falls on the eve of Christmas, it is also serves as his birthday cake. Notably, "Christmas Cake" is also an outdated term used to describe women and because unsold Christmas cakes are thought of as unwanted. Traditionally, women in Japan were expected to get married early, so not getting married after 25 suggested that they would no longer be wanted, since people only eat Christmas cakes until the 25th of December, which is Christmas. (source)

As such, the underlying meaning of the scene is that Suzume too, has past his prime and is no longer wanted, as a single 39 year old, which are also reflected by his own current beliefs about himself.

The gaga sub is wrong here. Suzume says "a guy who is almost 40".

In Japan, when you are almost 40, you can use the term "arafo", which means around 40, to describe yourself, but it's once again, used in terms of being 'old'.

We have a new plushie lover! 🫶

I already love this precious man and his fuzzy slippers, bear outfit, and home full of things that bring him joy.

What a way to ask someone out: I'm gay, and you're gay, and you want a bf within 3 months. I'm already here sexy free and single, aren't I a good deal?

Like he's selling a limited edition product (I would buy)

Keishi's face is the face of a man realizing that he could have been dating his adorable boss this entire time!

[raikantopenis]

They're just so cute next to each other, the height difference versus the age difference versus the style difference! Augh, the cutest little couple already. Plus, he got him the cutest crepe in the entire world.

The adorable is so strong with them. It's painful. How dare they be this cute already. I could cry about them because they're so sweet and he just loves how cute he is and how much he loves cute things.

I love the young men who find these older men and teach them that getting older doesn't mean growing up, it just means more life and more chances to try new things like drinks and crepes and stuffed toys and dating very loving coworkers.

Not a whim, my dude. He is staring at you like you're something precious... because you are, to him.

I love when shows are about learning to love and value yourself, especially doing so when you're awkward and a bit older and queer and you're the only one who doesn't know how worthy of love you are. @absolutebl The Old Fashioned Cupcake energy is REAL here.

Plus, adorable plushies. ADORABLE TINY SYMBOLIC PLUSHIES.

Translation notes for 40 Made ni Shitai 10 no Koto / 10 Things I Want to Do Before I Turn 40, ep 3

Obligatory obrigada to @my-rose-tinted-glasses

Sea Paradise. Note: It's shortened, which is why Suzume isn't saying Sea Paradise, but "shii para". So why is it being translated as Ocean Park. 😫😫 As shown in the second screenshot, the actual name is Yokohama Hakkeijima Sea Paradise.

Note: The shopkeeper is doing something called uchimizu, which means to sprinkle water. In fact, Japan has an ongoing campaign, called Mission Uchimizu, which was started in 2003 and its website explains the practice: The old custom of sprinkling water with a ladle or by hand on the ground, called “uchimizu”, is a well-known example of the use of water in Japan’s daily living. People used to sprinkle water in their house entrances and gardens or in front of their shops to lay the dust and ease the heat, which sometimes implies welcoming of guests. Water has a high heat of vaporization. As sprinkled water evaporates, it takes heat away from the ground. (more info)

There's no time to think about unnecessary things.

(We) can finish this on time. (We) can, (we) can. Note: There isn't a subject here, so it could be Suzume telling himself that he can do this on time, or that he and his team can do it.

It's been so long since things were this tough.

It's been tough (on you). All I've been able to do every day is just to go to work then come home.

I need to work hard. Not just at work, but here too. Note: He uses ganbaru, which I translated as work hard, but it's more like to keep at it, or to do one's best.

Note: He says Sea Paradise, not the aquarium.

I ended up lying...

What are you holding back for?

From the top/head, of course.

No, that's fine/not really.

Maybe I'll buy one...

Suzume: There are a lot of things an older man, who is alone, needs to consider/to deal with. Keiji: I think there's nothing wrong with it. Isn't it fine to like what you like? Note: Suzume means in the eyes of society, certain things are seen as "weird" once you are of a certain age (love, etc. And yes, we've been here before with Old Fashion Cupcake).

The wind is strong.

Ah, the rain really isn't stopping, huh.

I thought I was going to be kissed.
