I don’t know what this was about. All of a sudden I could hear them coming up the street and I thought, “What the hell is that?” So I ran out to the balcony and looked outside and there they were. Chanting and walking and carrying on. I wish I spoke Japanese better and I wish there was a better way to find out what this was. Actually…I’ll take the video to class with me tomorrow and ask the Japanese teachers. I’ll let you know what I find out!
