  • "Bakuretsu Aishiteru" and "#BakuretsuOkawariShiteru": "Bakuretsu" (爆裂) translates to "explosive" or "bursting." "Aishiteru" (愛してる) means "I love you." So, "Bakuretsu Aishiteru" means "Explosively I Love You." The trending hashtag "#BakuretsuOkawariShiteru" combines "bakuretsu" with "okawari" (おかわり), which means "second helping," "another serving," or "an encore/repeat."
