the grande finale of this year`s Inagawa Hanabi Taikai in Ikeda which is in Osaka which is in Japan for those of you just joining me here. it was a very warm but not too hot saturday evening. and luckily no mosquitos. and give or take a thousand people, i would say about 100,000 people enjoyed the 70 minues of fireworks. i think it was the 70th anniversay of this event. this was my second time to see this wonderful summer fireworks festival with Noriko and the first for Tony, Tori and Niji. more photos later including some more natsu (summer) yukata and yatai photos.

Ricky, the wonderful Beatles singer. that is Minoo Takey FM`s deejay taking his photo from the stair. oh, that reminds me not to forget to find about why people were coming out of the restaurant across from the stage with one long noodle coming from their mouth.
