My treasures

Where is the first one from? I've been to the Aomori Nebuta festival (and Hirosaki Neputa) , so those last two vids bring back some nice memories.
 
exciting videos, thanks, Blackie!
 
Hi it's one of the program fare which called “Kokkodesho（こっこでしょ）” for Suwa shrine（諏訪神社） Autumn festival “Okunchi（おくんち）” in Nagasaki（長崎） city Japan.
This festival hold from 7th to 9th of October every year.

Hi! It's "Kanto festival" in Akita Japan.

A friend and I did the Kanto Matsuri in 2004 - it really was amazing the way the balanced those tall lantern-festooned posts on different parts of their bodies - one guy balanced the post on his arse, another used his mouth. Amazing! We did the Aomori and Hirosaki festivals at the same time - Hirosaki had the best floats, Aomori had a great party atmosphere. Unfortunately we finished with Sendai's Tanabata Matsuri - a very lacklustre and uninspiring event: bands marched around a blocked off section of road - but were too close to each other. Trying to listen to four different bands at once was teeth-grating.

I think you got the shapes right, but the asteroid needs to look more like something coated in white-hot sheath of bow shock roughly the same brightness as a nuclear fireball to be more believable. We wouldn't see the asteroid, just a giant streak the color of arc welding and ten times the size of the sun.
 
Picture is not mine! It's something I found on deviantART a while ago and thought was great. When I saw the picture of the Tokyo Sky Tree tower, the two images superimposed in my mind...
 
Hi! Please come to Japan in spring next year. :D

Was the encounter with the JDS Hibiki coincidental or part of a operational routine, would you know, blackkite?
 
Hi! Sorry I'm not sure. But people said that sometimes such a encounter happened.
 
Thanks for all of the wonderful video of Japan. I especially enjoyed the Jonkarabushi video.
