#4 The school festival!

    From 4th to 6th November, the university festival was held. I belong to the Rakugo club and Tokyo Hole Project (a new comic club), so I told rakugo stories and did a comic dialogue in the festival. It was so enjoyable!
    On the eve, I took part in a costume parade. We disguised as the girls who boys disliked or were afraid of. They were a horrible ghost, a Japanese girl in 2000 has a tanned face and a white lip called Yamanba, a retiring grind, a modern girl who believed herself as a princess in the animation world, a hoodlum, and a Japanese ghastly apparition called Hanako in a toilet. I disguised as a woman at the Japanese disco in 90s. I wore a jacket with padded shoulders, swelled my hair like a crest, and danced enthusiastically. We walked around the Mejiro street. Of course, no boys talked to us! haha

    On the second day and the third day, we performed a comic show in front of the Hojin hall. We didn't only do a comic dialogue but also did a gymnastics show. Can you find me in the picture? I am the left person with a giraffe mask. On the show, we finally became  animals and danced wildly. The dance was so hard and we might look crasy. haha
I was so shy but I learned to get into my role during the shows. The festival got to be a valuable experience for me.
What were you doing during the festival? Did you enjoy it?

  1. This report of your school festival experience is terrific! It looks like such hard work to prepare everything but you seem to have had a lot of fun. I would really like to hear your rakugo story - please tell us one in class this year!
    Unfortunately, during this year's school festival, I was at home everyday because I hurt my toe and pulled some tendons in my heel. It is taking so long to heal but I have to be patient. The weather was so great during those days I longed to go out and about, but I stayed put at home. I hope the others of you had more fun! As Hoh wrote, please tell us about your school festival time.

  3. I think you had to advertise your activities in this blog before the term of festival. If you did so, P group member could see your performance and your disguise. I didn't go this year's festival, because I joined the other university's activity. I enjoyed it, but I had to go Gakushuin festival too.
