What is set on the roof of i-MiEV is Nebuta "Doris" which was newly created this time. This is the name of the sea goddess of Greek myths, it is also a sea anemone. It was that I imagined the Goto Islands surrounded by beautiful seas and expressed the positive power of nature by using the rich colorful sea lions living in the sea. Tsubaki talks about this encounter as a strong experience for children of the new generation.

There was a cute decorated box next to the i-MiEV. This is a prototype of a 1500 W feeder.

However, it does not start at the scheduled start time of 18 o'clock


A window appeared on the face of Doris. Apparently it seems to be a trouble of something. The neighborhood gets darker and darker.


I waited for about 30 minutes and it seems that I finally recovered. Children wearing a glowing hat came in

A silhouette appears striking the drum with the bright nebuts back. It is Fukue machi's "Flame Taiko" playing. The origin of the mysterious name depends on the fact that it was launched on the occasion of Fukue Great Fire that occurred in 1964.
