Gou Gou Datte Neko de Aru 2: Drama Notes
Here are a few notes from the second season of Gou Gou Datte Neko De Aru:
Kaibori [掻い掘り]. It basically involves draining out the water in ponds (usually used in farmlands) during agricultural off-seasons, in order to capture fish (especially alien ones), repair and maintain the river banks, to inspect, etc. As one of the administrative tasks of the Inokashira Park's Executive Committee, kaibori is essential in order to maintain the function of Inokashira Pond. It is also to prepare for Inokashira Park's centennial celebration next year, marking 100 years after it was opened to the public in 1917. The public is also invited to help in kaibori volunteer activities. Erratum: I erroneously wrote in the Translator's Notes in Episode 1, that this pond was "man-made". It is actually a natural water source for the Kanda River. And speaking of Kanda River, in Ep. 4, when Omori was walking, he looked at the river, and realized that he has already gone past Kojima Asako's house in Musashino, and he has reached Mitaka City where the river is located.
