You count the Medals 1, 2, 3!
The word:
Fukueki 服役 【ふくえき】 (n) penal servitude, military service, (P)
This one baffles me a bit. Fuku means clothes, and eki/yaku means role. Maybe it has some story behind how it came into being

The theme of this week is that Hina is cute. Does anyone know if models are required to pose like that though?
Seems like kind of an awkward pose
Let's balance it out by talking about the guest of this plot, Takahashi Mitsuomi, or BoukenRed as you guys probably know him. Man, has it really been five years since Boukenger (since they were the last anniversary series)?

We have this special promo that includes this screen shot this week. What is it? It's a list of many, many names. It's pretty impressive, take a moment to go through them.
The word:
Konpon 根本 【こんぽん】 (n) origin, source, foundation, root, base, principle, (P)
Kon means "root" and hon/pon means "book", although in this case means "main, head"

So most people know by now that the new Rider is played by R5/ Iwanaga Hiroaki. The guy is hilarious, you should read his blog. In particular, I want to include his blog entry from right after his first appearance in Kamen Rider:

"As for Kamen Rider, I'm going to dash into the New Year's and rampage! Cute baby-tachi, don't fall in love with me! Good! My heart's been scaled before. No wait, sorry, I'm so tired that I'm going a bit nuts"

The word:
Yamawake 山分け 【やまわけ】 (n,vs) equal split
If you know any kanji, you can see the kanji that goes into this means to "split the mountain". Apparently splitting mountains come out evenly in Japan, who knew?

The word:
Shinpaku 心拍 【しんぱく】 (n) heart rate
Shin/heart is a great kanji to know, but do you recognize the white radical in paku? If you know the radicals, sometimes you can guess the sound, like haku/paku comes from the kanji for white. You'll see a lot of the kanji attributed to haku will have the kanji for white in them since it's the main one

The word:
Shittou 執刀 【しっとう】 (n,vs) performing a surgical operation
Using the kanji for taking and the kanji for a blade. If you remember Shinkenger, then Shippitsu should make sense: 執筆 【しっぴつ】 (n) writing, (P) since pitsu means brush. See a pattern?

Today's word:
Netamu 妬む 【ねたむ】 (v5m) to be jealous, to be envious, (P)
If you know basic kanji, I'm sure you'll notice that netamu is made from woman and stone. Hmmm...
