Each Japanese word, explained in its line.
Instead of a flat translation, you hear why a word means what it means, broken into its pieces, then the line replays. Here's the kind of thing you'll hear:
- 木 (ko)·tree
- 漏れ (more)·leaking
- 日 (bi)·sunlight
“木漏れ日 (komorebi) means sunlight filtering through the leaves of trees. “Tree-leaking-light”: the dapple of sun coming through a canopy.”

Click a word you don't get
The show pauses and you hear what it means in this line, out loud, in your language, in plain words.
Hear the line again, understood
The line replays and this time you follow it. The word turns gold on your subtitles and stays gold wherever it comes back.
