Memory Hook
Imagine a giant screen showing a movie in a building — it's an 'eiga-kan' (映画館, eiga kan, 'movie theater'). Think: 'Eiga' sounds like 'eagle' watching a film in a 'can' (kan) — eagle in a can at the movie theater!
Cultural Note
In Japan, movie theaters are popular for watching both domestic and international films. It's common to buy tickets in advance or at the counter, and many theaters have assigned seating. Before the movie starts, audiences often watch trailers and commercials, and it's considered polite to remain quiet during the film.
