（１０１）夏祭り

Speaking of summer festivals, fire works are best.
One summer day I returned home with my friends of university. I asked my little sisiter to take her friends of girls for the summer festival in the evening. We did go all together to the main shrine of our town. We, men got a little drunk, girls were just high schoolers. Many fireworks had been shooted off high and they had been exploding like bright flowers in the black sky till we reached the shrine.

Fireworks remind me of a song by young girls group named White Berry. The song was made by Jitterin'jinn.

The Summer Festival

The summer you were in is a faraway dream.
The fireworks shootd off had faded into the sky.

Your hair smelled fresh.
You in Yukata was too sweet.
The summer festival's night had excited me.
So crowded we might get separated from each other.
"Keep close to me" I said to you.
Hesitating to hold your hand,
I put my closed fist in my pocket.

The summer you were in is a faraway dream.
The fireworks shootd off had faded into the sky.

Scooping goldfish at a stall, like a child
You enjoyed it with wet sleeves.
The innocent profile, you're so cute.
Your favorite cotton candy
Made you happy. But overthere,
Spotting your friends, you decided to walk separately from me.

The summer you were in is a faraway dream.
The fireworks shootd off had faded into the sky.

Sitting side by side on the step of a shrine,
In dim light,
We heard the festival's drums a little distance away.
Lighting sparkling fireworks, we talked many things.
But I had never been able to say I like you.

The summer you were in is a faraway dream.
The fireworks shootd off had faded into the sky.

The summer you were in is a faraway dream.
The fireworks shootd off had faded into the sky.
The fireworks shootd off had faded into the sky.
