Title

Literally ai ai gasa (相合傘) means to share an umbrella,[3] however, it could also be read as "Love-Love Umbrella", as the word for love (愛) is also pronounced ai. As such, sharing an umbrella as a couple in Japan is considered a romantic expression, and teens often draw an umbrella with their name and the name of their crush, the way one would in a heart. In Tegomass's video, the two are creating rain to make a young boy and girl walk under an umbrella together.

gollark: It's very bizarre, given that according to random internet stuff I looked at polygraphs do not actually work as intended.
gollark: This is just a really bad license. You *cannot* safely use it.
