1月20日(ichigatsu hatsuka): January 20

Today is daikan (大寒), one of nijyushisekki(二十四節季), the 24 solar terms. The last one was shokan (小寒) on January 5, and the next one is risshun (立春) on February 4.
Daikan literally means big cold. And it was cold today.

Today's good news was the reduction in prices at the theaters. Usually the entrance fee for a new movie at the theater costs yen 1,800. But TOHO Cinemas decided to reduce it to yen 1,500 from March in certain theaters and from next year in other places. It's been 18 years since the price fixed. These days because of deflation, many things became lower prices than before. Therefore they decided to reduce.
Since I like to watch the movies, this is a good thing.
