* "A topic of great concern in Japan today is the phenomenon of rikabanare - a turning-away from scientific study among the younger generation." (https://www.kahaku.go.jp/english/userguide/support/special/index.html)
* "The strong disfavor and unwillingness to study natural sciences prevailed among a large portion of students (so-called Rikabanare in Japanese)…" (https://kaken.nii.ac.jp/grant/KAKENHI-PROJECT-07680207/)
* "Japanese policy-makers, academics, and journalists often attribute the shortage to rikabanare, a compound word meaning roughly 'withdrawal from science' that refers to the diminishing interest in science and technology among young Japanese." (https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eaf/ToBeArchived/The-Japanese-Entrepreneur-Feigenbaum-and-Brunner-2002.pdf)

<upd_detl>What's the case for including "rikabanare" as a gloss? I don't think it makes much sense.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I noticed that 3 of the references quoted by Opencooper used the romanized term. Usually the reason we add it as a gloss is because it is being used in English text. I felt it may be useful, but feel free to delete it (it doesn't get anything in the English n-grams).</upd_detl>
