Tonight, I'll reveal to you all the secrets hidden in every page of the dictionary you use every day.
★Special guest is "Yuru Linguistics Radio"!
Joining us as guests will be Mizuno Taiki and Hori Motomi from the hugely popular YouTube/Podcast channel "Yuru Linguistics Radio"!
This passionate conversation between these two, who have gained popularity through their "Dictionary Story" series, which delves into the fascinating world of words and reveals the behind-the-scenes of dictionary creation, is definitely not to be missed.
Mizuno, who has just completed a long journey of reading through the dictionary, will be giving an enthusiastic presentation alongside the regular members of Japanese Dictionary Night.
And in front of Horimoto-san, who makes sharp comments in the same atmosphere as "Yuru Linguistics Radio", the members of Japanese Dictionary Night are taken aback!
