[00:05] Na
    Please keep that in mind as you watch this
    program filled with love for Nagoya.
[00:09] Na
    By the way, as a Nagoya native,
    my favorite Nagoya food is fruit daifuku!
[00:13] Jin
    Wow, I should try those, too!

[00:17] Toshika
    I've had it! I'm going back to Tokyo!
[00:19] Jin
    Chill out. It's not that big a deal.
[00:22] Toshika
    Yes, it is!
[00:24] Toshika
    Why... Why?
[00:26] Toshika
    Why isn't Nagoya on a nationwide tour?!

[00:32] Na
    This is known as the "Nagoya skip."
SIGN    Shin-Osaka
SIGN    Nagoya Skip!!
[00:34] Na
    The term began trending in 1992,
SIGN    Nagoya
SIGN    Shin-Yokohama
[00:37] ---
    when the Nozomi Shinkansen route that
    skipped Nagoya Station was designed.
[00:41] Na
    Today, we will introduce some classic
    examples of the Nagoya skip.
[00:45] Na
    Example 1: late-night anime.

[00:47] Mai
    I can't wait for next season's new anime!
[00:49] Mai
    I'd better get set up to record it right away!
[00:51] Mai
    The channel it's on...
[00:53] Mai
    It's not airing in Aichi?!
[00:55] Na
    In the past, Aichi was known
    as an otaku-friendly place
[00:57] Na
    that aired all of the late-night anime.
[00:59] Na
    But over the years, it aired less.
SIGN    Terrestrial Anime Broadcasts
SIGN    Tokyo
SIGN    Osaka
SIGN    Aichi
[01:01] Na
    In recent years, terrestrial anime
    broadcasts in Aichi amount to less
[01:03] ---
    than one third of those aired in Tokyo.
[01:05] Mai
    Oh, it's airing in Gifu, though.
[01:07] Mai
    Great.
[01:08] Na
    But for some reason,
    they do air in Gifu and Mie.
[01:11] Na
    It's a mystery.

    Example 2: ramen chains.

    Nice! I'm starvin', so maybe I'll go.
[01:18] Yanna
    It's not in Nagoya!
[01:20] Yanna
    But it's in Niigata and Kyoto!
[01:22] Na
    The people of Nagoya love all types of noodles.
[01:25] Na
    They're so particular that new chains
    pop up and disappear constantly,
SIGN    Champon Hut
SIGN    Udon
SIGN    Ramen Yarou!
SIGN    Hakata Ramen
[01:29] Na
    and none of them last.
SIGN    Restaurant Closing
    Thank you
    for your patronage.
[01:31] Na
    It is truly a land isolated from noodles.
[01:34] Yanna
    We still have Sugakiya!
[01:37] Na
    Example 3: events.
SIGN    Example 3
SIGN    Events
[01:39] Girl
    I guess that illustration exhibit
    doesn't come to Nagoya.
[01:41] Girl
    What? No way! That's a Nagoya skip!
[01:46] Na
    Yatogame-chan elegantly ignores them.
[01:48] Na
    As a Nagoyan, Yatogame lives strong.
[01:51] Na
    It takes more than that to faze her.
[01:54] Na
    Anyway, to continue...
[01:55] Na
    Events skip Nagoya because it's
[01:57] ---
    just close enough to both Tokyo and Osaka
    that attendees are split between them.
[02:01] Jin
    Can't people in Nagoya just
    go to one or the other?
[02:03] Na
    This is the thinking that
    led to this sad phenomenon.
[02:06] Na
    There are many examples of the Nagoya skip
[02:09] ---
    other than the late-night anime,
    noodles, and events we've covered here.
[02:13] Na
    It is a reality that torments
    all the people of Nagoya.
SIGN    Why?!
[02:19] Girl
    They have it in Fukuoka, though...
[02:22] Na
    Yatogame has endured many Nagoya skips.
[02:24] Na
    She thought she had developed
    a resistance to it.
[02:27] Na
    But...
[02:29] Na
    She doesn't want to lose to Fukuoka.
[02:31] Na
    Even if she doesn't root
    for any teams from Nagoya,
[02:34] Na
    she doesn't want the Hawks or Avispa to win.
[02:36] Na
    That is the fate of the Nagoyans.
[02:39] Na
    Fukuoka: as Japan's third major city,
    it's often compared to Nagoya.
[02:43] Na
    They compete in gourmet,
    tourism, ease of living,
