Feeling Exhausted?<\/h3>\n

Let me ask you a question.\u00a0 How would you usually say “I’m exhausted!!” in Japanese?
You\u2019d probably say “\u3068\u3066\u3082\u75b2\u308c\u305f!” (Totemo tsukareta!) or “\u3059\u3054\u304f\u75b2\u308c\u305f!”\u00a0 (Sugoku tsukareta!)
But have you ever heard of the following saying?
\u3042\u3041\u3001\u3082\u3046\u304f\u305f\u304f\u305f<\/strong>\u301c\uff01\uff01\uff08\u201cAa~, mou, kuta-kuta<\/strong>~!!\u201d\uff09
“\u304f\u305f\u304f\u305f<\/strong>\u306b\u306a\u308b” (Kuta-kuta<\/strong> ni naru) refers to \u201ca state in which you are so tired that your body feels weak.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

For example, imagine this Monday morning conversation at the office:
A:<\/strong> What\u2019s wrong? You look tired.
B:<\/strong> I played futsal yesterday for the first time in a long time.
A:<\/strong> That\u2019s awesome!
B:<\/strong> Actually, I haven\u2019t been exercising at all lately. I ended up becoming\u00a0kuta-kuta<\/strong>\u00a0after only 2 matches.<\/p>\n

Getting Kuta-Kuta?<\/h3>\n

Has there been a time lately\u00a0where you’ve become \u201ckuta-kuta<\/strong>\u201d?
After working all day with hardly any time to take a break or having an intense workout to break a\u00a0sweat at the gym. Did either of these make you feel “kuta-kuta<\/strong>“?
Has there been a time recently that you became \u201ckuta-kuta<\/strong>\u201d from having too much fun?
Such opportunities may be rare when you\u2019re an adult.
But it’s a good way to refresh yourself from time to time.
Speaking of having fun, why not participate in an outdoor music festival this year?\u00a0 They are often held in the warmer spring and summer seasons.
Every year in July, the biggest outdoor music festival in Japan is held in the mountains of Niigata Prefecture.
The combination of nature and music is truly an amazing experience.\u00a0 For once, why not just forget about time and drink, eat, walk around, enjoy the music, and dance until you become “kuta-kuta<\/strong>“?<\/p>\n
