Two places that show up almost constantly in the show are the Tanaya and the Miyama Store. The Tanaya is pretty much your common convenience store. It looks like a barn, and it's where Asako and the thus-far-unrevealed character Mikoshiba both work. The Miyama Store is more of a liquor store, and it's where Miki works. I only bring this up because we decided not to translate the store names onscreen, so we didn't want you to be confused.

6:23 - Miku starts saying "ai ni..." which could lead to one of the following translations: "We meet again" and "Unfortunately." Miki decided to err on the side of caution, in this case.

7:39 - A kappa is a Japanese river demon. For more details, go to this site, or watch the anime "Kappa no Kaikata."

7:45 - Ayumu hasn't yet properly introduced himself to Sakakura or used his name in the 3rd person to refer to himself, hence Sakakura's name-calling of him. This is apparently something you should do in Japan if you don't want to look like a tard.

11:49 - In Japanese society, you're always very polite and kind, and saying something like <b>FUCK YOU</b> to someone is completely out of the question (unlike here in America), so they always do their best to make everyone like them and serve their guests/superiors/etc's needs.

13:09 - The Japanese love making really lame acronyms for everything. This one will be used throughout the series. It's short for "Emerald Land," if you couldn't figure that out.

18:10 - Miki's cellphone ringtone is a fairly well-known piece known as the "Polovtsian Dances" from the opera "Prince Igor," by Alexander Borodin. This piece of music is used in many shows and movies, including RahXephon.

20:56 - Wakkun calls the floating balls of light "hika-kun," which literally translates as something like Glowy-kun or Shiny-kun or some other gay sounding name. We went with something that some English-speaking kid would conceivably call them.

24:50 - Pun here. Roku can mean "good," and is also the dog's name.
