"Have You Heard About 'Middle Birthday'? It's Especially Trending Among Women and Otaku!"

Do you know about the "Middle Birthday"?

Recently, I learned about a new type of anniversary called the "Middle Birthday"＊

The Middle Birthday refers to the date that falls exactly in the middle of two people's birthdays.

For example,

if a couple has their birthdays on January 1 and June 30,

their Middle Birthday would be [April 1].

But if someone asks, "Isn't that just an ordinary day...??" then that’s certainly true, but,

"There’s no limit to how many anniversaries we can have, right?"

"Having more anniversaries sounds like it would be fun every month!"

"Adding more anniversaries doesn’t diminish the truly important ones, right?"

"A birthday feels like a day for that person, but a Middle Birthday feels like a day for both."

"If I create Middle Birthdays with my boyfriend, my mom, my best friend, and my sister, I’ll have special days with each of them, and that makes me happy."

"I want to celebrate the Middle Birthday with my favorite character."

It seems that among young couples, close friends, and fans, many people enjoy this as a casual anniversary＊

What is everyone doing?

That said, I'm curious about what everyone does on their Middle Birthday.

Upon researching, it doesn't seem like people celebrate it as grandly as they do for actual birthdays or anniversaries, but

they might have a slightly fancier meal than usual,

bake cakes or sweets,

exchange small gifts,

or go out to eat delicious food!

It seems like they're spending a day that is just a little bit special＊

Let me introduce some of those moments.

①

Celebrating by making the trendy Korean "birthday cake"＊

②

Giving flowers as a present on the Middle Birthday♩

③

Celebrating the Middle Birthday with my favorite character at a picnic＊

④

Preparing matching plates with friends＊

(Since it’s common to be celebrated by your significant other or family on your actual birthday, it might be nice to celebrate the Middle Birthday together with friends?)

Is the Middle Birthday surprisingly becoming more mainstream?

The Middle Birthday is the date that falls exactly in the middle of two people's birthdays.

"I want to propose to my girlfriend soon, but I can't wait until her birthday or our anniversary which are over six months away, so I gave her a ring on our Middle Birthday!"

It seems there are men who do that.

While opinions about this type of anniversary might vary from person to person,

if you have a partner or close friends and family who value anniversaries, it’s easy to bring up, "Hey, hey, it looks like our Middle Birthday is this day♩."
