SIGN    Yatogame Monaka
    
    High school first-year
     who loves Nagoya
SIGN    Hmmm
[00:19] Na
    Is Nagoya part of Kanto or Kansai?
SIGN    Eastern Devil
[00:21] Jin
    Kansai, obviously!
[00:22] Jin
    The New Comedy Troupe plays
    on Saturday afternoons,
[00:24] Jin
    and the food's super rich!
[00:25] Jin
    It's clearly in Kansai!
SIGN    Western Devil
[00:27] Yato
    Nah, it's Kanto!
[00:28] Yato
    There's no Kansai dialect,
    the people are proud,
[00:30] Yato
    and they say "Mac" instead of "McD's"!
[00:32] Yato
    That makes it Kanto! Not that I'd know!
[00:33] Jin
    Kansai!
SIGN    Eastern Devil
[00:34] Yato
    Kanto!
SIGN    Western Devil
[00:35] Yato
    Quit tryin' to dump Nagoya
    off on each other!
[00:37] Jin
    Where'd that come from?!
[00:38] Jin
    You wondered if Nagoya
    was in Kanto or Kansai?
[00:41] Mai
    Aichi, Gifu, and Mie are sometimes
    called Tokai, Chubu,
SIGN    "It's Smack in the Middle"
[00:43] Mai
    and even Chukyo.
[00:45] Yato
    Yep.
[00:46] Yanna
    I hear that a lot, but what's it mean?
SIGN    Kyoto
SIGN    Nagoya
SIGN    Tokyo
[00:48] Mai
    Apparently it's because the region
    is right between Kyoto and Tokyo.
[00:52] Yanna
    Oh, so Chukyo is the "kyo" of Kyoto,
    the "kyo" of Tokyo, and "chu" for "middle"!
[00:55] Yanna
    That makes sense!
[00:56] Rara
    Stop!
[00:57] Rara
    Shizuoka gets left behind
    as part of the Tokai region as it is!
SIGN    Yatoga MEMO
SIGN    Shonai Rara
    Photography club advisor
    Is often left out
SIGN    °Chukyo includes only Aichi, Gifu, and Mie
[01:00] Rara
    It'll never fit into Chukyo!
[01:03] Rara
    I'm hardcore opposed to Chukyo!
[01:05] Jin
    Opposing it won't help...
[01:06] Yato
    Still, there ain't no denyin'
    Nagoya's smack in the middle of Japan!
[01:09] Jin
    No, Japan's center is Tokyo.
[01:11] Mai
    Yatogame-chan, I think Gifu's the one
    at the center of Japan.
[01:15] Yato
    Wha?!
[01:15] Mai
    Assuming everyone in Japan weighs the same,
[01:18] Mai
    the location where it strikes
    the best balance is Gifu!
SIGN    Gifu Prefecture
[01:20] Mai
    It's Gujo!
SIGN    Gujo
[01:21] Jin
    Why the heck would you base it on that?!
SIGN    Nihon Manmannaka Center
[01:23] Mai
    Above all, Nihon Manmannaka
    Center is there!
[01:25] Jin
    That's a bold name!
[01:27] Rara
    It's Shizuoka!
    It's right in the middle of the Tokaido!
[01:29] Yanna
    Nah, it's Mie!
[01:30] Yanna
    It formed the Republic of Central Japan
    with Gifu and some others!
[01:32] Mai
    It's Gifu!
[01:33] Yato
    It's Nagoya!
[01:34] Jin
    Argh! Quit talking over each other!
[01:35] Jin
    I'll just look it up online!
SIGN    Shibukawa City, Gunma Prefecture:
    
    The center when you make a circle
    stretching from Hokkaido to Kyushu.
SIGN    Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture:
    
    The intersection when you draw lines from
    the northernmost point and the southernmost
    point, and the Pacific coast to the Sea of
     Japan coast, and connect their centers.
SIGN    Nirasaki City, Yamanashi Prefecture:
    
    The intersection when you draw lines from the
    northernmost point and the southernmost point,
    and the easternmost point to the westernmost point.
SIGN    Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture:
    
    Located at exactly 135 degrees east and 35 degrees north
SIGN    Ogawa Village, Nagano Prefecture:
    
    The center if Honshu were represented as a single flat board.
[01:43] Jin
    I think I don't really care anymore.
[01:45] Yato
    Yep!
[01:45] Mai
    Agreed!
[01:46] Rara
    Want some tea?
[01:47] Yanna
    I want mine hot!

[02:30] Serura
    Really! I was like, please
    do somethin' about this!
[02:33] Serura
    So please let me go to school in Tokyo—
[02:35] Mom
    Not a chance! Do you know
    how much that would cost?
[02:37] Serura
    You're so stingy!
    Our family's rich, ain't it?!
[02:40] Mom
    We're rich because we're stingy.
[02:42] Serura
    You only pay Tsuji 800 yen

[02:48] Mom
    Tsuji, contact that
    school's chairman for me.
[02:51] Tsuji
    Certainly.
[02:52] Mom
    Serura-chan's friend was put in danger.
[02:55] Mom
    We might just have to get
    that photography club shut down.
