Consulting my Japanese knowledge born of reading manga and fansubbed anime (:P), I believe this is best translated (or just reduced) to ''Spring Cleaning''.

References & Translator's Notes

Kirlian photograph

A 'photograph' created by exposing a photographic plate to an electric field instead of light. The electrical properties of the subject being photographed generates a unique electrical field around it, creating an "aura" around it.

Pochibukuro

In Japan, it is a New Year’s custom to give small amounts of money to children in decorative envelopes called ‘pochibukuro’.


Fukuwarai and Sugoroku

Fukuwari and Sugoroku are the games the group played while on the trip to Snow Mountain in the story Where did the cat go?


Spring Setsubun/Risshun

Setsubun and Risshun is the eve of and the first day of a season, respectively. In this case, the season is springtime.


Rolled Sushi

The word used in the novel is "ehoumaki." (Can someone please expand this? It seems this word has a special meaning associated with the occasion, but I'm not clear what it is.)

Snow Mountain Syndrome reference

For uniformity, I decided to reference the location of the Snow Moutnain Syndrome storyline as a "mysterious mansion on the mountain" - this seems to adequately describe it without spoiling the actual story. To differentiate, the other location in that story is referred to as a villa.


"the wrong amount to set off"

I think I know what Nagato wants to say. I had told Asahina-san that it was because Nagato had let the wrong amount to set off, so the world changed on December the eighteenth.

This sentence doesn't seem right. Can anyone please confirm the translation?


"I'll give you something to see"

The movie I was watching gradually disappeared. Has the service been cut? I'll give you something to see. Like during my three-day long memory loss, it's a brigade leader's responsibility to worry about the members, that's the way it is, Haruhi.

This paragraph seems a bit confused. Can anyone please confirm the translation?
