////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I introduce ''金曜日'' on this time.

Seven days constitute one week.
They are called by a name same as seven heavenly bodies.

The kanji to express Friday is "金 ( gold, Venus )".


I introduce ''土曜日'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
