This upload might need some reexamination. Dunno if this happened to anyone else but the vid stopped play multiple times after the halfway mark and was frustrating work to resynch each time. Thank all above that y'all keep the blurred frames of the ep playing in tandem; makes resynching a dream. But the player or the video seems wonk with this one.

Japan has a very superstitious culture and they take it to the MAX on New Years. We kick off with the "First Dream" of the year which is said to determine your course of the upcoming year, which is why Daichi got super depressed about the dream he saw. At Tanaka's house you saw them eating a traditional New Year's Meal which is filled with puns and symbolism (a golden chestnut paste so that you will be blessed with riches, fish eggs so you'll be blessed with fertility, black beans so that you can work hard and get "beans," which is what blisters are called in Japan, on your hands, etc.). Then you saw the guys playing a badminton like sport with wooden paddles. That's called "Hanetsuki" which is a game to "swing away" bad fortunes and spirits. The point is to keep the rally going and if you drop it, then the penalty is for the others to draw on your face. This is done to induce the "First Laugh" of the year which is to set the year off right by bringing in good tidings and vibes. Finally, the volleyball tournament is called the "Spring" tournament because it used to be played in the spring but they moved it to January. Regardless, Spring is associated with new starts and new beginnings (flowers blossoming, animals coming out of hibernation, birds migrating back, etc.) so another way to say the "New Year" is Japan is the "New Spring" so they kept the name because it's still relevant.
