It’s nice to stop raining and start our new Era happily. Now I would like to introduce 2 local festivals during GW. One is Nagasu Kingyo Matsuri 長洲 金魚祭り. Nagasu is famous of its Kingyo, Golden fish. At there, they will hold Golden fish scooping match 金魚すくい大会. On May 3, It’s for individual match, for 200 kids, 200 adults. On May 4, It’s for team match. Each team needs 4 people.

And the other one is Ueki Suika Matsuri, 植木 スイカ祭り. Lots of Kumamoto-i reader seem to have felt sorry about robbed watermelon in Ueki town. Now, we should cheer them with joining and enjoying this festival. This festival is held today too. But especially on May 5, they will have match races who is the fastest eater of watermelon,スイカの早食い大会 !! Hoping to check the details and enjoy them as Kumamoto citizens! I’ll check your winning comments on TV.ーAtsuko(Ü)
