    I definitely like these little videos about Japanese festivals. I lived in Japan, but still didn't know much about this, including the reason for the koi nobori. I also of course liked your Tanabata festival video as well, since that holiday is especially important to me. I look forward to more, whether it's about video games, festivals, or something else entirely!

The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862. So, Ill be eating well, having some beers and playing some good old Nintendo while remembering Childrens day in Japan. 👍👍🍻🍻

    Kintaro was the best boy that ever known in the past as a boy who toppled the monsters and demons. Oh i see, so those are the reflection of the fish, each fish represent:
    The head of the family, mother and young siblings glad to the fact of children's Day.
    It just goes to show that if we wanted to be succeed in life just ask your mother to pray for you over time, we would get succeed due to our own efforts and the sincere prayers from our mother. Do you believe in it? I believe it strongly however our efforts also crucial for our dreams and wishes. You know what? I watched it on May 5th today. How are things in Japan today? Hopefully the celebration going smoothly today.
    My thoughts on the baby on the pic:
    He was cuteness overload baby i've ever seen, babies subjected as a cultural thing you know.
    Q: do people in western countries celebrating children Day as well guys? If so, could you please explain it to me. By the way, i'm from Indonesia who love Japan much love Japan love ya.😘🇯🇵
