“
"What's the second-highest mountain in Japan?" is a question that even the people who know it can't answer. No one can even bring themselves to say, "It's on the tip of my tongue..." What a pity. It's Mount Kita, at 3193 meters. It's number two in Japan, but it doesn't make an impression on anyone. That said... Mount Fuji is so beautiful, and everyone loves it. The name's also a bit of a stretch, isn't it? Mount Kita's name probably stems from it being kita (north) of something. A mountain shouldn't be treated that way. Mount Fuji simply looks so beautiful for a mountain. But on the other hand, if Mount Kita were higher than Mount Fuji, people might not forgive it. They might get angry. They might tear it down and make it lower. Mount Kita... it's for the best that you're in second place.

『日本の2番目に高い山はどこ?』と知り合いに質問しても、誰も答えられないのです。「名前がここまで出てくんだけど」とかさえ無い。可哀想。『北岳』(3193m)。
日本No.2なのに影が薄すぎます。でもなぁ…。富士山は偉大すぎて、誰からも愛されてるしなぁ……。
名付けもテキトーですよね。おそらく何かの北方位にあるから「北岳」なんだろうな。酷いあつかいだなぁ。富士山は山としてのルックスも美しすぎるしなぁ。でも逆に考えると、もし北岳が富士山より高い標高だったなら、みんな許さないかもしれない。怒りが湧いてくるかも。みんなに砕かれて低くされるかも。北岳―第2位で良かったね。
