it may be like our "School Year" calendars here in the states. our school year starts in September, so those specialty calendars do too, but seems like unless it is a class schedule type, they might go through the entire following year...? i could be wrong about that. haven't had to get any of those in a LOOOONG time.

but doesn't the Japanese "Year" for school, new jobs post graduation etc start in April? or am i getting my J-dramas all messed up?
if so, that would explain why picking April to start instead of March for example. o.O?

Oh, thanks for the info ^_^! Here in Peru the school year begins in march ^_^! but I had never heard of a school calendar, outside classrooms (like for mass sale) I think your drama intel is right :D I've seen that too I guess Asians are really focused on their jobs-school to sell those kinds of calendars ^^"

well, it is purely a guess on my part, but based on what i have seen and used here in the states. i think that most countries probably have a specific time for things to START but it might not all be at the same time. many businesses in the US start their calendar year July 1 for example, but others start January 1. and the school year starts the end of August usually, but by September 1.

in Japan they are more nationally organized and it all starts together. makes a lot of sense to me.
i guess i just needed to fabricate a rational reason for publishing a yearly calendar starting April 1 for my own understanding. it may not be exactly right, but it sounds pretty damn good, eh? [my secret skill in life has been to be able to pull rational explanations and definitions for things sorta out of thin air, or if you prefer "out of my ass", as my son calls it. it is an inheritable gene i have discovered.
