Who exactly is Sebastiano Serafini ( セバスティアーノ セラフィニー )? When I posted the Candy Spooky Theater video, a few of you recognized him as a regular cast member in the Japanese TV drama Nihonjin no shiranai nihongo (日本人の知らない日本語). 日本人の知らない日本語ドラマ!! (The Japanese Japanese People Don.Recently, you’ve been seeing a lot of this pretty face on La Carmina blog.I just need to make sure I make it out at least once before I leave Aomori for good! =P And it looks like this year I won't be able to make it out either, due to the timing of the arrival of the new Towada ALTs plus the junior high school Canada trip (海外発見).Īh well. Still, it's a good place to start if you want to learn a bit about the history of Nebuta, how Nebuta floats are made, etc.Īs big as this festival is in Aomori, in almost three years of living in the prefecture, I still haven't managed to see the festival yet. There *is* an English site, but it doesn't have as much detailed info as the Japanese one. This is all from the Japanese website: 2010schedule.html. Here's a rough schedule for this year's events:ġ9:10-21:00 Children's Nebuta (15 floats) Large Nebuta (15 floats)ġ9:15~21:00 Fireworks & Setting Nebuta to Sea Speaking of festivals, Aomori Nebuta is also coming up in less than a month! The Festival runs from the 2nd-7th of August every year. =P So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate.įor more detailed information, check out the website (Japanese only) at I won't be performing, but I'll be going to help move the taikos, and to (hopefully) be generally useful. This year I'm planning on going to watch the fireworks on Saturday night with a friend (yay! a chance to wear my yukata!) and then I'll be heading down Sunday morning with the taiko group I practice with. Last year the fireworks were canceled due to rain and strong winds, but I went two years ago and had a good time. Weather permitting, there will be fireworks from 8-9pm on both nights and during the day there will also be various events/performances (Yosakoi, taiko, etc.) There's a festival at Lake Towada this coming Saturday and Sunday (17-18th).
