Yurukyara Festival

I want to talk about notable autumn festival in Japan.
On 25, 26 October there is “Yurukyara Festival” in Hikone in Shiga prefecture. What is it? It is a festival that lax characters in Tokyo, Hokkaido and the other prefectures gather and do public relations on the product and event. Look situation in that day!!

People in Hikone want to take place this event next year. So I think it is a good festival because it connects activation of regions. And this is a first year to take place this festival. The total 46 characters take part in this festival. For example there is Sentokun Hikonyan and Na-mukun. I think Unagappa is the best above all because he is a character from Tajimi in Gifu where is my hometown.

I knew this festival when it finished. So I want to go this festival next year. If you have interest this event, please go this festival and take a picture with characters.

Movie☆

This summer I watched many movies. Above all I’d like to talk about two of my favorite Japanese movies. I watched these movies by preview. I like watching movies by preview, because sometimes there is address on stage and it is free!!

First I want to talk about “Okuribito”. This is a Japanese movie that was received a prize of Montreal film festival. Before watching this movie, I think it is sad story because it is story about person who coffin dead. But it is humorous and there is a lot of laughter. And of course it is a touching movie. This movie depicts many different end and parting. These are drag queen, mother who has a little daughter, and grandfather who has many kiss mark on his face. I think many people don’t know the job. I want people know the job through this movie. How do you want parting?

Next I want to talk about “Ikigami”. This is a Japanese touching movie too. And this is human drama. It was made comic into a movie. Government issues paper that warns about time of death, and it is Ikigami. Person who was received it will surely dead after twenty-four hours. This movie is story about how that person spends rest time. This is the movie that I was moved best in this summer.

These movies are now on presentation. I recommend these movies you. Please watch these movies.
