Cherry blossoms

The cherry blossom season has come!

Did you already have a cherry blossom viewing party?
During the month of April many people go out to admire the
cherry blossoms in full bloom.
"Hanami" or cherry blossom viewing, is part of Japanese culture
and famous cherry blossom spots are always crowded with admires.

I went to Senzoku-Ike park to see the cherry blossoms last night.

It was a very cold night, 

but there were a lot of people here than I thought there would be.

There were many stalls around and lots of people enjoy 

having parties under the cherry blossoms and drinking.

I went to see MTV WORLD STAGE VMAJ2010 . There were tons of fashionable people. I enjoyed people-watching! Many artists performed at the festival such as BIGBANG,EXILE, KESHA,W-INDS,2NE1,ICONIQ,,, and so on. It was fun!! http://www.mtvjapan.com/vmaj/top

The Tanabata Festival

I was at Shibuya yesterday morning. 

I found some people were decorating for the Tanabata Star Festival. 

The Tanabata Star Festival is a kind of event which is said to be a combination of Chinese tradition with beliefs peculiar to Japan. 

July 7th is the day of Tanabata in Japan. 

On the day,we write our wishes on colouful stripes of paper and hang them on bamboo branches. 

I don't remember the detail of the legend about the festival. 

As I recall,it's based on a legend about a couple separated by the Milky way.... 

Anyway I'm gonna write tons of wishes on stripes of paper and hang them on somewhere. Haha...
