祇園祭

Last weekend was the Gion Matsuri here in Kyoto, the biggest of Japan's 3 most important festivals. This being the case we were obligated to check it out. Thing is it's been pissing rain non-stop for about the past week. Luckily there was a bit of a break in the rain Saturday night so we put on our yukata and headed down to check it out. We didn't stay down too long though. It was PACKED first of all, and secondly, the rain started up again putting a damper on the festivities. So in order to wait out the rain we went to karaoke where I got a real jem of a video of Andy and Sebastian singing the "Never-ending Story" theme song. I also just recently got back from the Kagrra concert in Osaka. Amazing. More on that tomorrow.
