Glossary and notes

Primary election: A vote within one’s party to decide which candidates will participate in the main election. These are often held for organizations like the US Congress. If the incumbent loses the primary, they’ll usually have to force their way into the candidacy.

Runa’s song: “Canta Per Me” from “Noir.”

Self-employed profession that starts with a “Y”: They have deep ties to the entertainment industry.

The book Runa was reading: Kino no Tabi by Sigsawa Keiichi, Dengeki Bunko.

The board games: The first is “Settlers of Catan.” Crops are decided by rolls of the dice, so a number such as a 3 or 11 can sometimes start a real frenzy. The second is “Diplomacy.” They say this game is used in the business classes in Europe and America, but who knows? It’s a game of negotiation that shows you just how scary the creatures known as humans can be. Negotiations are essentially just verbal promises, so punishments for betrayal seem lax. But once they find out, the other players will be on guard around you, causing you to suffer total defeat…

Gifted: In 1993, the American Department of Education defined a gifted child as: “A child with notable intelligence and spirit who can accomplish extraordinary things compared to other children of the same age.”

Spinout: The act of making a subsidiary company independent or selling it off. American companies do this often so that they can focus on winning businesses.

Junior high and college tests: These are officially called the “Junior High School Graduation Equivalent Examination of Compulsory Attendance Exemption” and “University Entrance Qualification Examination.” The college test’s name has been changed to “Certificate for Students Achieving the Proficiency Level of Upper Secondary School Graduates.”

The light novel: “Maria-sama ga Miteru: Rainy Blue” by Konno Oyuki, Shueisha Cobalt Bunko. It’s a legendary book that spawned the phrase “rainy-dome” (“stop the rain”).

Graduation from the Tokyo University law department: Something that surprised me while discussing this with a foreigner is that it’s apparently more unusual for foreign countries to have such well-known paths to guaranteed success. Of course, whether or not you can get that far in the first place is a different story, but having these sorts of paths to elite status that the majority of the country knows about has the benefit of a stabilizing effect on society. Without that sort of thing, it seems much harder to escape poverty as society becomes a place where you simply must know the right people.

The Karuizawa church: Kyukaruizawa Chapel.
