ickaimpDiscovered today that there's a lady down the street who plays classical music on her piano. Pretty well too. Was coming back from the Nijiya when I heard it, and ended up sitting down next to a tree and just listening for prolly a good quarter of an hour, until a car pulled up and several kids poured out, calling for Mom. Turns out Mom is the piano player.
We thanked her for the music and she invited me back. ^^ *wiggles happily* She seemed happy.
There's just something about listening to someone play an instrument in person that recordings just can never capture... It's more personal or inimate or something...
'Neechan, you do realise that we now have a little under 2 months before we leave for Japan?
Anyway. The Nijiya had signs with Oni faces on them over foods for Setsubun, such as uncut maki-zushi. Setsubun on 4 Febuary this year, so ya get a gift little early...
Sites about Setsubun (cause I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like summarizing, neener neener): Here Here and Here
"Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" Was all the warning he had before several small objects struck him. Heiji didn't so much see as feel himself transform into his oni form.
"Ack!" He glanced at his now dusky-red skin, then up at Kazuha who was grinning like a cat in the cream. "Kazuha! What'd ya do that for?!"
"Well, today’s the day for driving evil spirits out of the house, so..." She mischievously flicked another soybean at him. “Out, Oni!”
He raised an eyebrow. "Y'know, if ya wanted me out of the house to go on a date..."
"HEIJI!"
-fin-
"Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" = "Devils/Oni out, Happiness in"
It's shouted while throwing the beans. ^__^
I want an oni mask... ^^
