January 9th- Top tier marriage Day So 'goroawase' (turning numbers into syllables ) is what I'm mostly using as the prompts. Today is 1 (ichi, i, hito, etc), and 9 (kyuu, gyuu) 1-9 would be 'ikkyu' , and a very well known 4 kanji phrase (yojijukugo), is ikkyuu-nyuukon 一球入魂 , meaning putting your heart and soul into every pitch , a baseball saying. However! Ikkyuu- nyuukon (the way it is said), could also have the kanjis 一級入婚 , putting the best into a marriage, entering a marriage that is the best, or , top tier marriage. Even though this all looks like gibberish, I promise there's logic behind the madness. 2026 Fanart: Jan 01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08 | 09
