Calendar for the year 2025. The illustration of each month's calendar is soothing. In addition, an icon blinks to indicate "today's" date. The calendar also displays the Japanese lunar calendar for "today" so that you can feel the change of the seasons more easily. When a day falls on one of the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar, an illustration appropriate to that solar term will appear. (Functions related to "today" are available only for the year 2025. For other years, please enjoy the monthly illustrations.) Register your birthday and a surprise illustration will appear on your birthday. Multilingual support. Supports English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Hangul.
