Super busy with moving, did my daily Anki while I had to do errands. I was super tired in the evening, so the only thing I had motivation for was learning another Japanese Song. I picked 丸の内サディスティック. Also read through the wikipedia article on the song. Added around ~30 cards from all of this to Anki.
Fun little side story: When I counter checked my version to the (pretty insufficient) fan-translation, I was super confused that "monk" was translated with "bonze". This indeed seems to be the correct term, which I never heard in English, but in my native German this is a light insult, meaning that someone is a "show off" (with money). And indeed, the German insult actually derives from the Japanese word for monk, wait what : Explanation in German.
