🎬 It is February 22. Ryo tells his new coworker Sophie, who came from Australia, about tomorrow's holiday.

音声はここから
Listen here

Ryo	Sophie, tomorrow is a holiday. It's the Emperor's Birthday.
Sophie	Oh, nice! Is it on the same day every year?
Ryo	Yes, while the same emperor is on the throne. When a new emperor comes, the date changes.
Sophie	Really? So it was a different day before?
Ryo	Yes. When I was a kid, it was December 23, just before Christmas Eve.
Sophie	That sounds like a great long weekend!
Ryo	It was. And in 2019, we had no Emperor's Birthday at all.
Sophie	No way! That's so interesting.
Ryo	In Australia, you have a King's Birthday, right?
Sophie	Yes, in June. But it's not his real birthday!
Ryo	Wait, what? Then whose birthday is it?
Sophie	It's just the official one. His real birthday is in November.
Ryo	Two birthdays a year? I'm a little jealous!
