These summaries describe what appears in the transcripts. A speaker’s claims are not established facts, and transcription or speaker-label errors can carry through. Check the linked transcripts and original recordings for context.
Retained summaries use the transcript wording and speaker assignments available when they were generated. Later transcript or speaker corrections may not yet be reflected in the prose. Source links open the currently released transcript.

Overview
A search for fireworks across multiple stores in Shin-Osaka succeeds with a 600 yen purchase despite them typically being sold only during summer.
