The one without the era name
Legally, there is no designated front side. However, in the manufacturing process, a front side must be determined in advance, and in practice the side without the year is produced as the front. Depending on whether you prioritize the year and numerals or the design, your perception of which side is the front may differ.

Which animal has the highest blood pressure?
- whale
- giraffe
- Elephant
See the answer
giraffe
Giraffes have extremely long necks, and considerable pressure is needed to send blood through the neck to the brain. In fact, giraffes have powerful hearts, and their maximum blood pressure is said to be more than twice that of humans. This high blood pressure is necessary to keep pushing blood more than about two meters upward. It can be considered an evolutionary adaptation arising to maintain blood flow to the brain.
What kind of hospital is more numerous than convenience stores?
- dentist
- Internal medicine
- ophthalmology
See the answer
dentist
In Japan, dentists are well known for outnumbering convenience stores. Because dental clinics tend to be rooted in their local communities, their numbers are high nationwide. Meanwhile, many other types of medical facilities—such as internal medicine and ophthalmology clinics—also exist in large numbers according to each region’s population and demand. However, compared to the total number of dental clinics, dentists generally stand out as being far more numerous.
