First, there was a turbulence on October 14th the day before the event. With the influence of the intense front, suddenly the opening day is over one day back. But on the 15th day of the original scheduled date, Goto City will never rain at all, while Honshu is very rough in various places.

Clouds remained somewhat on the 16th day of the event but the sun sweat

Preparation will be advanced unrepentantly

What is set on the roof of i-MiEV is Nebuta "Doris" which was newly created this time. This is the name of the sea goddess of Greek myths, it is also a sea anemone. It was that I imagined the Goto Islands surrounded by beautiful seas and expressed the positive power of nature by using the rich colorful sea lions living in the sea. Tsubaki talks about this encounter as a strong experience for children of the new generation.

There was a cute decorated box next to the i-MiEV. This is a prototype of a 1500 W feeder.

The whole map of the venue. Although it is quite plenty, I will supply all of this light from one i-MiEV.

However, it does not start at the scheduled start time of 18 o'clock

A window appeared on the face of Doris. Apparently it seems to be a trouble of something. The neighborhood gets darker and darker.

I waited for about 30 minutes and it seems that I finally recovered. Children wearing a glowing hat came in

A silhouette appears striking the drum with the bright nebuts back. It is Fukue machi's "Flame Taiko" playing. The origin of the mysterious name depends on the fact that it was launched on the occasion of Fukue Great Fire that occurred in 1964.

The event ended safely before 20 o'clock, and the disassembly of Nebuta began. Holes are drilled one after another in the face.

Children were helping with disassembling together with them. When it comes to children's hands, dismantling also becomes play, and the Nebut which finished the turn is a toy state.
