	Comments:	"home comedy" gets no hits on google and seems very much a wasei eigo to me. I came across this as I was (and still am) struggling to find a good way to translate this Japanese. I do not believe we say "home comedy" in English, particularly for films, which is where this has popped up in my work. "Sitcom" also doesn't seem suitable for films, but may be fine for TV, in which case, I suggest adding "TV" in brackets after "sitcom" in the English.
