| Comment | 1) The current entry (which i supplied earlier) has the wrong kanji
2) I think Scott's suggestion from 2009-12-24, "歴女 = female history buff", is not quite capturing this neologism. "History buff" denotes someone who enjoys learning about history and knows a lot about it on account of intensive research or study, not someone who adopts and act out mannerisms of a previous era, as is the case with 歴女, who is a kind of otaku (see, for example, "society for creative anachronism"). Of course, some among those otaku may also be history buffs, but this partial overlap of interests does not mean the terms mean the same. :-) |

| Current Entry | 四月病 [しがつびょう] /(n) optimism experienced by college students or workplace recruits at the beginning of school or work/ (2083810) |
| Headword 1 | 四月病 |
| Reading 1 | しがつびょう |
| Part-of-speech | n |
| English 1 | euphoria experienced by college students or workplace recruits at the beginning of school or work |
| Reference | For 四月病:
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/keyword/四月病 http://allabout.co.jp/gm/gc/2210/ For the corresponding 五月病 and 六月病: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/五月病 http://www.health.ne.jp/library/5000/w5000349.html |
| Comment | 1) In an entry on 12-26, Avery Morrow suggests the amendment, "blues
experienced by college students or workplace recruits at the beginning of school or work" and comments, "compare 六月病. seems strange that 'byou' could be used for optimism". Well, "optimism" is perhaps not the best choice (and i am suggesting to amend this to "euphoria"), but we also say "spring fever" in English and don't mean a sickness in the medical sense. :-) Anyway, since in Japan the school year and the work year both start at the time when spring arrives, this euphoria, which often leads to a subsequent slump/blues (五月病 or 六月病), can probably be explained with the concurrent biological and social stimulation people experience. |
