It's hot. We're in the middle of summer vacation and the Obon holiday.
The town is overflowing with children and their ancestors.
When I was in junior high school, I was the student council president.
All for the betterment of this school.
So that all of our students can have a bright, positive and wonderful school life.
I don't have any such noble thoughts.
However, since it all came down to wanting to speak in front of people, I'm completely useless at anything other than speaking.
There were times when summer vacation ended without me having finished my homework for a single subject.
The names of those who had not submitted their assignments were posted on the blackboard, but my name ended up on all of them.
I don't even need to write it anymore.
At the new school term assembly, as student council president, in front of the entire school,

"Well, everyone, the holidays are over, so let's live our school lives with a relaxed attitude."

It's you.
It's completely loose.
I'm sorry for always saying such arrogant things.
To everyone who helped me at Sendai Municipal Yagyu Junior High School.

There hasn't been much progress since then.
It's getting to the last minute to submit this manuscript.
Sorry, The Cloakroom.

This summer, fireworks festivals around the country are being held for the first time in four years, and it seems like they're going to be very lively. That's a good thing.
The Sumida River Fireworks Festival attracted a record 1.03 million people.
When I looked into it, I found that the number was almost the same as the population of Yamagata Prefecture.
There's no need to go that far.
Fireworks are held at places other than Sumida River too.
I can't believe I jumped into a crowd in this damn heat.
It's much better to watch the fireworks on TV Tokyo in an air-conditioned room...

I went to the Sumida River.
The fireworks were absolutely beautiful.
I'm glad I went.
But it was still an incredible number of people.
It certainly felt like this is what it would be like if you gathered all the people of Yamagata Prefecture together.
That's why, even if my mouth was torn apart, I would never be able to say, "I prefer imoni with miso."
Visible from the Yamagata Shinkansen, this tower apartment building stands alone in the middle of a vast rice field.
Who lives there?
I can't say anything like that.
It was such a tense fireworks display.
This is probably to prevent a potato stew war from starting.
The police were also mobilised in large numbers.
It's hard to get on the train or cross the road.
It's been about two weeks, but apparently there are still people who haven't returned home.

However, perhaps because of the nature of my job, I find myself drawn to the way the yukatas are worn by those around me.
First, men.
The obi isn't the usual one that you tie yourself, but one with Velcro on the back.
That's fine, but
The place where it stops is not around the waist but above the belly button.
As I walk around it continues to rise and now it's just below my breasts.
In his left hand was a huge rainbow cotton candy that made you wonder where on earth he had bought it.
Nike Air Max on his feet.
This is Reiwa Bakabon.

Women are probably better off than men, probably because many of them have their costumes put on at a costume rental shop.
But it's still hot.
The collar is loosely open,
The hem flares out like Kobayashi Sachiko's red and white dress.
He ran out in that outfit and fell over.
The location is Asakusa.
She looks like a courtesan who has escaped from Yoshiwara.

Isn't there something we can do about this?

Speaking of which, the other day, in a survey at a Rakugo gathering,
"Yoichi's clothes are pretty messed up."
I remembered that it was written:

I've always put myself on a pedestal.
