Last year, we went to the Edogawa fireworks festival together, didn’t we?
Seeing so many fireworks right in front of us was truly breathtaking!
Edogawa city is my hometown and I have been going to the Edogawa Fireworks Festival since I was a child.
If you go to the venue, you can see the fireworks right in front of you.
I have a video we took last year. I’ll share it with you!
But the real thing is so much more amazing than this!
It’s such an exciting feeling when the sound truly resonates in your heart.
That’s awesome! I can’t wait for Saturday!
