cf. Japanese Turn of the Year

Toshikoshi soba (年越し蕎麦), year-crossing noodle, is Japanese traditional noodle bowl dish eaten on New Year's Eve. This custom lets go of hardship of the year because soba noodles are easily cut while eating. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshikoshi_soba)

At midnight on December 31, Buddhist temples all over Japan ring their bells a total of 108 times (除夜の鐘 joyanokane) to symbolize the 108 human sins in Buddhist belief, and to get rid of the 108 worldly desires regarding sense and feeling in every Japanese citizen. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_New_Year#Bell_ringing)

Hatsumōde (初詣 hatsumōde) is the first Shinto shrine visit of the Japanese New Year. Some people visit a Buddhist temple instead. Many visit on the first, second, or third day of the year as most are off work on those days. Generally, wishes for the new year are made, new omamori (charms or amulets) are bought, and the old ones are returned to the shrine so they can be burned. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsumōde)

●で、その後初日の出見て、お節にお雑煮食べて
　De sono ato hatsu-hinode mite osechi ni ozouni tabete
― Then we'll watch the first sunrise and eat our New Year's feast together...

Hatsu hinode refers to the appearance of the celestial object on January 1 (ganjitsu) (when the sun rises from the horizon or sea horizon). In Japan it is celebrated as the first crack of dawn once a year and lots of people visit to see the hatsu hinode.

Osechi is Japanese food made to celebrate the coming of the New Year, called Shogatsu. It is one of the most important annual events in Japan. Osechi food is packed in colorful lacquer boxes called jubako. Each dish and ingredient in osechi has a meaning, such as good health, fertility, good harvest, happiness, long life, and so on. (http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osechi)

Zōni (雑煮), often with the honorific "o-" as o-zōni, is a Japanese soup containing mochi rice cakes. The dish is strongly associated with the Japanese New Year and its tradition of osechi ceremonial foods. Zōni is considered the most auspicious of the dishes eaten on New Year's Day. The preparation of zōni varies both by household and region. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zōni)

●新年は弁財天に行って株価上昇祈願をせねば。
　Shinnen wa Benzaiten ni itte kabuka joushou kigan wo seneba
― For the New Year, I always visit a shrine to Benzaiten to pray for my stocks to go up.

Benzaiten (弁才天, 弁財天) is a Japanese Buddhist goddess, who originated from the Hindu goddess Saraswati.
Lastly, she became one of the Seven Gods of Fortune (fukujin) when the Sino-Japanese characters used to write her name changed to 弁財天 (Benzaiten), emphasizing her role in bestowing monetary fortune. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzaiten)

●チキン入りのお雑煮、用意して待っとるから。
　Chicken iri no ozouni youi shite mattoru kara
― I'll have some New Year's soup with chicken waiting.

Zōni (雑煮), often with the honorific "o-" as o-zōni, is a Japanese soup containing mochi rice cakes. The dish is strongly associated with the Japanese New Year and its tradition of osechi ceremonial foods. Zōni is considered the most auspicious of the dishes eaten on New Year's Day. The preparation of zōni varies both by household and region.
Common additions to the soup include chicken, fish or meatballs; leafy vegetables such as komatsuna or spinach; mitsuba (a Japanese herb similar to parsley); kamaboko such as naruto and carrot flakes for colour; and flakes of yuzu peel for its citrus fragrance. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zōni)

●年越しそばはおあずけだな。
　Toshikoshi-soba ha oazuke dana
― We'll have to get that New Year's soba another time.

Toshikoshi soba (年越し蕎麦), year-crossing noodle, is Japanese traditional noodle bowl dish eaten on New Year's Eve. This custom lets go of hardship of the year because soba noodles are easily cut while eating.
The tradition started around Edo period (1603-1867) and there are several theories believed that long soba noodles symbolize a long life.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshikoshi_soba)

●七草粥には戻るからって班長に伝えておいて。
　Nanakusa-gayu niha modoru kara tte hanchou ni tsutaeteoite

The Festival of Seven Herbs or Nanakusa no sekku (Japanese: 七草の節句) is the long-standing Japanese custom of eating seven-herb rice porridge (nanakusa-gayu) on January 7 (Jinjitsu).
The custom of eating nanakusa-gayu on this day, to bring longevity and health, developed in Japan from a similar ancient Chinese custom, intended to ward off evil. Since there is little green at that time of the year, the young green herbs bring color to the table and eating them suits the spirit of the New Year.
