Readers’ Corner: An Anime Movie
I’d like to introduce an anime movie, “Kimi to Hanabi to Yakusoku to” (“You, Fireworks, and Our Promise”), which features the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival. This is one of Japan’s most famous fireworks festivals, held on August 2 and 3 every year in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture. The movie is a love story about two high school students, but it helps you to learn the history of Nagaoka and the fireworks festival while making you think about the importance of peace. The Nagaoka Fireworks Festival will be held next Sunday and Monday, and this year, they will launch special fireworks inspired by the movie.
