July 7th, today is Tanabata, the japanese star festival! ^_^

Tanabata is celebrated on July 7. It originated from an old Chinese legend involving two stars - Vega, the Weaver Star, and Altair, the Cowherd Star. They were passionately in love, but the god did not like this, and separated them, only allowing them to meet each other in the Milky Way on the night of July 7. Praying for their happy reunion, people decorate branches of bamboo with strips of paper, on which poems and proverbs are written. However, lately, many people may write their own wishes on the strips of paper for their happiness.

I will decorate my bamboo with my family strips of paper. I still have to think in a wish...

Tonight Arashi in Heyx3 and Shukudai-kun! ya~y!

japan, me
