Question: On what date is the game "Hanetsuki" often played?
Context: How to Get Out Alive is a five-song EP released by the band Lucky Boys Confusion on June 20, 2006.  The band released it on their own label, Townstyle Music, after their previous record label, Elektra Records, dropped them from their catalogue in 2005.  The band often played "The Struggle" and "Like Rats from a Sinking Ship" during their Red Tape Outtakes Tour during 2005.  "Anything, Anything" was also a song they often played live, and is a Dramarama cover. Hanetsuki (羽根突き, 羽子突き) is a Japanese traditional game, similar to badminton without a net, played with a rectangular wooden paddle called a hagoita and a brightly coloured shuttlecock.  Often played by girls at the New Year, the game can be played by any gender in two fashions: by one person attempting to keep the shuttlecock aloft as long as possible, or by two people batting it back and forth.  Players who fail to hit the shuttlecock get marked on the face with India Ink.  Traditionally, the longer the shuttlecock remains in the air, the greater protection from mosquitoes the players will receive during the coming year.  Although Hanetsuki is not as popular as it used to be, decorative hagoita are commonly sold throughout Japan. The quiet game is a children's game where children must stay quiet.  Stillness is sometimes a rule but in most cases not.  The last child or team to make noise wins the game.  It is usually acceptable for players to make sounds they cannot control, such as sneezing whereas talking would cause a player to get out.  The game is often played indoors, typically in classrooms.  It can also be played outdoors, for instance, at summer camps.  One application of the game is for parents to keep their loud children quiet for a long journey.  It is often used as a social discipline.  There is no writing to others in the silent game because it would count as talking to others. Hagoita (羽子板 ｢はごいた｣) are rectangular wooden paddles, originating in Japan, ostensibly used to play hanetsuki, but often instead serving a more ornamental purpose.  These are frequently painted, usually with lacquer, with auspicious symbols, or decorated with complex silk collages.  This tradition dates to the 17th century, and although the game itself is now rarely played, crafting decorative hagoita is still commonplace.  They are generally sold at traditional fairs ("hagoita ichi") which are held in December.  In Tokyo, they are sold at shrines, especially Asakusa and Furukawa Fudō. "Hail Varsity" is a fight song of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, often played at football games by the University of Nebraska Cornhusker Marching Band.  The band song is often played before playing Hail Varsity.  The lyrics were written by Joyce Ayres, a 1930 Nebraska graduate, and the music was composed by Wilbur Chenoweth.  There are three other fight songs, "Dear Old Nebraska U," "March of the Cornhuskers," and "The Cornhuskers (Come a Runnin' Boys)." The cup game is a children's clapping game that involves tapping and hitting a cup using a defined rhythm.  The game can be played by many players seated around a table and is often played in large groups.  Each player possesses a cup and in unison the players tap out the defined rhythm using their cups.  It can be played competitively, where the rhythm speeds up in each "round", and a player making a mistake in the rhythm must drop out of the game, with a new "round" starting after each elimination, and game play continuing until only one player remains, with that player being the winner. Ohajiki (おはじき ) is a traditional Japanese children's game similar to marbles.  It is played with small coin-shaped pieces also called "ohajiki".  The pieces are typically made of glass or plastic, although historically the game was often played with pebbles or go stones.  The game became popular as an indoor game for girls during the Edo period. Crab soccer (American English and Australian English), or crab football (British English), is an informal sport played by two teams.  The objective is to kick an inflated ball into a goal to score points.  The game is commonly played in Physical education classes.  The game can be played with a regular soccer ball, but is often played with a cage ball.  At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins.  Unlike soccer, players support themselves on their hands and move with their feet, in motions that make them look like crabs, a method known as crab walking.  Crab soccer can be played either outdoors or in a gymnasium, and is more commonly thought of as being a sport mostly played by children. The Japanese New Year (正月 , Shōgatsu ) is an annual festival with its own customs.  Since 1873, the official Japanese New Year has been celebrated according to the Gregorian calendar, on January 1 of each year, New Year's Day (元日 , Ganjitsu ) .  However, the celebration of the traditional Japanese New Year is still marked on the same day as the contemporary Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese New Years. Moundball is a side-betting game typically played by spectators at Major League Baseball games.  Often played to pass the time during slow games, Moundball has a simple ruleset and requires little to no equipment.  The game is turn-based, with the goal of having the ball remain on the mound at the end of a player's half inning turn.  The game was invented and patented by Frank Bonelli from the Kings Park, New York during the summer of 1977.  Frank also invented the classic cocktail "The Frankie B" consisting of Stoli O, soda, splash of orange, splash of cranberry.  He is now retired and he travels around the country teaching fans the basic rules of the game.
