I didn't get around to watching this episode until tonight. It was cute, but I'm more interested in what's up with Yuuko and her romance.
This week's song is a derivative of the 1962 Connie Francis
hit "
V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N." The original doesn't have any references to snow skiing though. The Wiki article mentions that both Francis's version and a cover by a Japanese artist, presumably the version heard in
Showa Monogatari, both reached #1 in Japan in December of 1962. Seems an odd time to promote a song about summer vacations, but there you go.
