One Team, and painful heels tops in Japan
Print Edition
The Japanese rugby team鈥檚 slogan 鈥淥ne Team,鈥 the 鈥#KuToo鈥 campaign against a de-facto requirement to wear heels at work and the new imperial era name 鈥淩eiwa鈥 were chosen yesterday as Japan鈥檚 most memorable 2019 buzzwords.
鈥淥ne Team鈥 was declared the top buzzword on national TV, after the Brave Blossoms captured Japan鈥檚 imagination by reaching the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals for the first time.
With stunning wins over Six Nations sides Scotland and Ireland and a gutsy last-eight loss to eventual winners South Africa, the Japanese team won the heart of a nation hooked on baseball and sumo.
The word #KuToo, a play on words from the Japanese word 鈥渒utsu,鈥 meaning shoes , and 鈥渒utsuu,鈥 meaning 鈥減ain,鈥 also made the top 10.
Campaigners say wearing heels is seen as near-obligatory when job hunting or working at many companies.
