Sports Day

An inescapable event for anyone attending schools in Japan, the annual Sports Day, which was held this Sunday. Here my son shows off an example of the sports day fashions. I, of course, got an extra added gift of sunburn.
All in all, it was a surreal, and completely humorous event.
Sorry I couldn’t film the big dance number where all the parents and kids wore gold streamers on their wrists and we frantically flailed our arms and legs about in circle formation to a song that had a curious word-addition to the chorus: “Hallelujah.” I’m not sure what the rest of the song was about at all. Either way, it was serious blackmail material…best kept undocumented.
