@mario I think depending on the generation or how you grew up with. My mother in 80s, she tends to say her birth year in Showa. I was born in Showa too but I started using western year since I went to the US when I was in a junior high school. Obviously it is easier to count your age with western year so I prefer using it.

@mario It looks different from yae. I wonder what kind it is..

@mario men can also use it but it is more casual or joking and normally kids to young generations use. Yes it sounds less romantic. We use like we happen to see some couple kissing each other あの人チューしてる！

@mario Hi. Note that ‘to’ of goto sounds not like to of English prepositional ‘to’ but it sounds like toe or tow. It’s like a tower sounds as ‘tou’ which is also like so.
