Orange drink common in anime?!
Question: I've seen this pattern in several anime, anytime someone is drinking something at home or at someone else's house (besides beer, sake, or wine) it's a clear orange beverage in a glass. I thought at first "okay, orange juice", but it's constant, never red or any other color, always orange and shows up in many shows. Is orange juice really this common in Japanese households? Is it tang? Or is this just an animation standard, to make juice orange (as in America we make water light blue)?

Not sure how common it is in Japan. I don't know, when I think juice I think orange juice. Isn't it the most popular type of juice out there?
this is what i found out. IT IS ABOUT BEEF AND ORANGES. I KNOW. BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH ORANGES IN SOME WAY SO IT'S OK. BTW WHAT I GOT ON ORANGES IN JAPAN...IDK IF IT MAY HELP YOU BUT IT TELLS ABOUT ORANGE EXPORTS AND IMPORTS:
Japan's import quotas for beef and oranges were eliminated on April 1, 1991. For beef, the quotas were replaced by an import duty of 70 percent (up from the current 25 percent) for one year. That duty rate will be lowered progressively over the next two years to 50 percent. Imports of oranges will be restricted by the current tariff which is 40 percent in-season and 20 percent off-season. These changes are prescribed in the U.S.-Japan Beef and Citrus Agreement, which the two countries signed July 5, 1988. In addition, the agreement specifies that Japan's Livestock Industry Promotion Corporation (LIPC) will no longer be involved in the pricing, purchase, sale or distribution of imported beef as of April 1, 1991, and that Japan will eliminate its quota on orange juice concentrate by April 1, 1992. Quota restrictions on imports of single-strength orange juice and orange juice mixtures were technically removed April 1, 1991, but the import allocation system (licensing) will not be terminated until April 1992.
What the Agreement Means to U.S. Exporters
When the Japanese market is completely liberalized, U.S. beef exports are expected to exceed $1 billion per year. U.S. orange exports are expected to exceed $100 million per year, and orange juice exports are expected to exceed $20 million per year. Before the agreement, U.S. beef exports to Japan in calendar year 1987 were valued at $558 million, U.S. orange exports at $79 million and U.S. orange juice exports at $2.7 million.
How the Agreement Operates for Beef
The current 70-percent tariff will be reduced to 60 percent in Japan Fiscal Year (JFY) 1992 (April-March) and to 50 percent in JFY 1993. Japan also will have the option to implement an additional 25-percent tariff during 1991-93 if Japanese beef imports reach 120 percent of the previous year's import level. After 1993, the tariff on beef will remain at the 50-percent level, but the United States is seeking further reductions during the current round of multilateral trade talks under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Estimates indicate that the tariff and non-tariff barriers in place prior to the 1988 agreement were equivalent to a 200-percent tariff on imported beef.
How the Agreement Operates for Oranges and Orange Juice
As of April 1, 1991, orange imports are permitted in unlimited quantities, but will remain restricted by the current tariff, which is bound at 40 percent of the value in-season and 20 percent off-season. Negotiated reductions in tariff rates are being addressed in the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations. The orange juice concentrate quota, which will be phased out by April 1, 1992, has increased from a base of 8,500 tons to 40,000 tons for JFY 1992. As of April 1, 1992, orange juice imports will be permitted in unlimited quantities. The only restriction will be the current tariff, which is set between 25 and 35 percent. While the Japanese government has been expanding import quotas for orange juice as specified in the agreement, the actual import volumes permitted have been significantly greater than the agreed quota levels. For example, the import quota issued during JFY 1989 was more than double the agreed level for that year. The requirement that imported orange juice be blended with mikan juice produced in Japan was eliminated as of April 1, 1990. In addition, as of April 1, 1991, imports of single-strength orange juice and orange juice mixtures are permitted in unlimited quantities. U.S. orange juice exports to Japan, particularly single-strength and hot pack, rose dramatically from $1.09 million in calendar year 1986 to $10.5 million in 1990. U.S. exports of frozen concentrate also increased from $1.35 million in 1986 to $8 million in 1990.
Background on Beef and Citrus Agreements
Quotas on beef and citrus have been a source of trade friction between the United States and Japan since the early 1960s. Japan originally restricted imports of beef and citrus for balance of payments reasons. However, Japan lost its balance of payments justification under the GATT in 1963. Since that time, Japan restricted imports to protect its domestic beef and citrus producers. The current agreement is the third in a series of U.S.-Japan agreements on beef and citrus products. Previous agreements include the Strauss-Ushiba Understanding of 1978 and the Brock-Yamamura Understanding of 1984. Both of these agreements settled on annual quota increases for beef and citrus products.
I would think orange juice, its just one of those drinks that most people always have in their house right? More then likely its a want to make the characters drinking something that isn't water or alcoholic so they make it juice colored, and orange can't be mistaken for beer (apple juice can cause of the color) or wine (like grape juice) and other then those two what other can you think of?
Orange water then like the aquafina stuff but in orange
Or orange fruitopia! :) LOL!
