It's little sister appreciation week on Gokaiger!
We've also got the first ending and the Dice-O DX promo out.
Jintsuu 陣痛 【じんつう】 (n) labour (birth) pains, labor pains, (P)
While you'll hear tsuu often when someone says words related to pain, I wanted to point out the jin here. Jin means "battle position" or "military camp". It's really weird to think of how this combined with the word for pain produces "labor pains".
Also, listen for "zutsuu" 頭痛 when you watch ZyuRanger. It means "headache". Isn't that funny?

Mi-tooshi 見通し 【みとおし】 (n) perspective, unobstructed view, outlook, forecast, prospect, insight, (P)
Literally "to see" and "go through". I like remember the kanji for seeing as a floating eyeball. And speaking of go through, it's the same kanji as the first part of toori-sugari no Kamen Rider.

The return of the word!
Urakata 裏方 【うらかた】 (n) lady consort (to a high personage), scene shifter, (P)
From the kanji "back/reverse" and "direction or a respectful way of referring to a person". Literally a background person

Not from us, unfortunately. Anyway, this person has been putting up a nice random collection of Japanese commercials. They're not subbed or anything, but commercials are fun, concise stories. Sometimes they're self-explantory:

To the creator of that site, I don't know if you're reading this, but please add a "Funny" or a "Comedy" tag. I'd use the heck out of that one
