Guess Japanese people just can't talk to one another without subtitles.

Or there could be cues not captured well in the script. I don't know. But the rightmost column is real.

I've spoken Japanese for the last 15 years. I'm aware of how many homophones there are. I still think by and large it wouldn't be a problem, and that natives would adapt to route around it. It's not a blocker.
