I was confused about the kanji, so I looked it up. Couldn't find anywhere that had 正生日=たんじょうび
Apparently birthday is 誕生日
Maybe it's colloquial because I can see a little 正 on the right side of the kanji? Anyone with better Japanese skills wanna fill me in?

Unless you're like Shakespeare and literally expiring on the anniversary of your birth, you're not allowed to be unhappy that day. It's The Rules (TM), man.
Yeah that's what confused me initially. In sequence, each of those kanji mean "right" (as in someone is right about something), "birth," and "day." When placed together it's seemingly nonsense.
The characters say "omedetou" (though it is kind of messy) which means "congrats." So that much makes sense!
