Japanese ゴキブリ (Cockroaches) and Why I want to move to Hokkaido
Okay so it's not that type of crack pot, but a cracked pot. I love this saying, which means that even though you're not perfect, there is someone out there that will fit you. Literally, it means something along the lines of cracked pots have a fitting lid. This is a fitting expression for Japanese people who seek companionship and LOVE nabe!
どんな人にもぴったり合う相手があること。似たもの同士がよいことのたとえ。
For whatever type of person, there is a partner who tightly matches. No matter what, there is a fitting companion for you.
So have you found your lid yet?

The word 蓋 (lid) is generally pronounced futa but for this saying it's pronounced buta because it sounds better
