| INTRODUCTION |

| Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric. |
| Risa: And I'm Risa. |

| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to 守 (Mamoru)'s post. |
| Risa: 毎年恒例の夏フェスです。 (Maitoshi kōrei no natsu-fesu desu.) |
| Eric: "At the yearly summer music festival." |
| Risa: (SLOW) 毎年恒例の夏フェスです。 (Maitoshi kōrei no natsu-fesu desu.) (Regular) 毎年恒例の夏フェスです。 (Maitoshi kōrei no natsu-fesu desu.) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Annual, like every year." |
| Risa: 毎年恒例の (Maitoshi kōrei no ) |
| Eric: This expression is commonly used when you want to share a tradition you never fail to do every year. In this sentence, you can see he's emphasizing that going to a summer music festival has become a tradition for him and the post shows his loyalty to the festival! Listen again- "Annual, like every year" is... |
| Risa: (SLOW) 毎年恒例の (Maitoshi kōrei no ) (REGULAR) 毎年恒例の (Maitoshi kōrei no ) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "summer music festival." |
| Risa: 夏フェスです。 (natsu-fesu desu.) |
| Eric: Literally, this means “summer festival,” but in Japan, it’s understood to be a music festival. It's becoming more and more popular to go to summer music festivals in Japan, and you can also see a lot of pictures, videos and status updates on social media about them. You can replace the noun before "festival" with other nouns, for example, "winter", "beach" or "rock" as well. Listen again- "summer music festival" is... |
| Risa: (SLOW) 夏フェスです。 (natsu-fesu desu.) (REGULAR) 夏フェスです。 (natsu-fesu desu.) |
| Eric: All together, "At the yearly summer musical festival." |
| Risa: 毎年恒例の夏フェスです。 (Maitoshi kōrei no natsu-fesu desu.) |
