I don’t know. The 2011 one was cancelled, for obvious reasons.

I have no idea. I suppose it’s the same as any other river in any country — you certainly *could*, but whether you’d be considered a nuisance or just weird is up to other people. :-) It’s certainly not the done thing though.

Hi sfj, a quick question.

Could people float a lantern outside of the normal festival period? Eg. float it by themselves with less people around?

Thank you!

It’s definitely worth a look.

Sadly, I don’t have the contact details for the man mentioned in my report. However, he was presumably a sales rep for a sub-contractor, so you might be better off contacting Pullips directly anyway.

Good luck!

Yes, we were! I recognise your name. :) It was amazing… I still find myself singing the Anpanman theme sometimes though.

Thanks. No, I try to go to lots of festivals, but I didn’t go to the Yosakoi Festival. My (Brazilian) friend invited me to the event at Yoyogi Park because he remembered one of the bands from his youth. :)

No problem! Sendai is one of the best cities I have visited in Japan. Having said that, do check in advance that it’s still there since a lot has happened since my last visit. I hope that everyone working there is safe, but I just don’t know.
