The festivals are cool because you
make a lot of connections at the festivals.

節日很棒，因為你會和很多人聯繫在一起。

Retort Bento RetoBen 'Gyu-Don Beef Bowl'. This is new type bento and I like the concept. It's convenient because you can eat it without microwave(without heating). The expiration date is long(3 years), so it's a kind of emergency foods. Btw, Today(September 1st) is Disaster Prevention Day. 　The day reminds us of the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. The RetoBen is suitable for that day, isn't it? The only thing is I felt the process(especially before microwave) wasn't appetizing. The tastes is very good so it's a bit bummer. The drink is Fruit Punch Jelly. It contains fruits pulp and nata de coco. The package images Hanabi fire works. I want to see Hanabi festivals next year. The bento is about 500 yen(4.6 USD), The drink is 250 yen(2.3 USD).

--------------------


　昨年2020年、各音楽フェスは軒並み中止に。2021年に大きな期待を寄せて迎えてはみたものの、明るい兆しが一向に見えてこなかった今年の春頃。友人の訓ちゃん（野村訓市）とこんな話になった。
「なんだかまた鬱屈した夏が来そうだね。せめて聴いている間は気持ちが晴れて、どこまでも駆けていけそうな、踊り続けられるような夏のアンセムを作ろうよ。この夏の眩惑を一曲に閉じこめよう。」
　そこからこのSUMMER DAZEは出発しました。
　夏が近づくにつれアレンジも徐々に決まっていき、友人たちに聴かせると皆一様に喜んで踊り出すのでした。そして映像を作ろうと盛り上がり、一人、また一人と参加したいと言ってくれるクリエイターが増え、学生の自主制作のようにワイワイと映像制作も進んでいきました。皆がそれぞれの仕事を終えた夜中に打ち合わせやロケハンを繰り返し、撮影をしていきました。音源作り、Tシャツ作り、ムービー制作、ジャケット撮影のすべてを自分たちだけで行ったのは初めてのことでした。
　この音源と映像は僕たちから、共に2021年夏を生きるすべての同士たちへのプレゼントです。無料でSoundCloud、YouTubeにアップします。この夏の好きなシーンで聴いてもらえると嬉しいです。
　忙しい合間を縫ってやりたいと賛同し参加してくれたYOSHIROTTEN、カメラマンの川上くん、映像まわりを寝ずにやってくれた笠井くん、夜中の街を全速力で走ってくれたNANAMI、そして訓ちゃん、改めてありがとう。
　皆さんの夏が輝きますように。

In 2020, various music festivals got cancelled. I welcomed 2021 with hope but even around Spring time, there was no good news. That’s when my friend Kun-chan (Kunichi Nomura) and I had this conversation.

“I feel like this summer is going to be another depressing one. So let’s write a summer anthem that we can clear our minds and feel like we can keep running and dancing forever at least while we listen to that song. Let’s capture all the dazzlement of Summer in this song!”

That is how SUMMER DAZE started.
As Summer approached, arrangement came into shape and when I played it to my friends, they all started dancing with joy. When we decided to create a video to accompany the song, more and more creators wanted to take part and we ended up working on it like a bunch of students having fun making a homemade video together. We gathered late at night after work to hold meetings, go location hunting and shoot the video. It was the first time for me to write music, make T-shirt, shoot a video and cover photos all on our own.

This song and the video are a gift from us to all our comrades living their lives in the Summer of 2021. We will post them on SoundCloud and YouTube free of charge. I hope you will enjoy the song at your favorite time and place this summer.

Special thanks to YOSHIROTTEN, Kawakami-kun for all the awesome photos, Kasai-kun for your sleepless nights working on the video, NANAMI who ran around the midnight city in full-speed and last but not least, Kun-chan. I know you guys are all really busy but thank you for taking time to be part of the project.

I wish you all a very bright and happy Summer!

Hello Kitty Kakinoha Persimmon Leaf Sushi. Persimmon Leaf Sushi is a kind of sushi which is wrapped in a persimmon leaf. Normally, we don't eat persimmon leaves, but the smell of persimmon leaves make the sushi good taste. So we can eat them without soy sauce(normal sushi is eaten with soy sauce and wasabi). It's a traditional dish of Asuka(Nara prefecture), which has been cooked at each home and served as a delicacy for festivals. If you have a chance, please try it! I ate them with Hello Kitty Osumashi Japanese clear soup. If you want to know about it, please check yesterday's video.
