Shiki citizen festival "Kappa! All members aggregate !!"
http://shikishishokokai.net/notice/1622/

From Osaka to Shiki-shi there is a high-speed bus that can go without changing the train, it is about 11 hours bus transit with a break etc.


Arrived at Shiki station at 8 AM, on Marui's wall "It's Kappa! All members!I found a banner of "


Rotary of the station had a kappa statue, Shiki-shi was on the city's homepage "Shiki and Kappa"There are 22 kappa statues in the city in the city that is bounded by kappa, such as posting.


Become a venueShiki City Municipal Hall ParcityIt is about ten minutes on foot from Shiki station.


Many people are lined up in the morning seeking admission tickets for hall events.


The numbered ticket also became a lottery ticket that can take two-shot pictures with Futatsi and 770 papers are dealt in total and 20 winnings are scheduled for winning.


A woman who was lined up from 4 o'clock in the morning got the No. 1.


There are goods sales floor and food stalls at the venue, and many people are waiting for sale before Kapal goods department.


There was a person with a dog dressed in characters in the middle of the row, from the left Kapal · Osaki Ichinodaro · Vali · Funasshi.


Others are also making clothes of Kapal by themselves.


Many people wore children's goods such as Kapal and Funassie's bag.


Kapal hat and Kumamon.


About half of the goods selling place of Kapal is lined up when you go to check the goods selling room of Funassy, ​​it turned out that it is truly only Kapal's local popularity is equivalent to locals in Kapal.


I check the rows where elderly people are often seen, what they are waiting for ......


It is said that apples that have been brought from Nagano Prefecture are distributed for free, so it is a citizen festival so festival events as well as character events will be held at the same time.


At 9:30, when the stall preparation was completed, the hall was opened.


15 minutes to the start of the event, because it is a free seat, we are sitting to secure all the seats.


Even outdoors is scheduled for events from 11:20 and it still has more than an hour and a half until the start, but place picking has already begun.


At 10 o'clock, the opening ceremony, the executive committee and the mayor Shiki mayor continue, but I feel a gaze of "Please bring out the character as soon as possible" and fasten it quickly.


Next, the ceremony will be held for about 10 minutes with a ceremony organized to honor excellent producers of local agricultural products.


Outside of the hall the row of people lined up in the goods selling area of ​​Kapal was further growing at that time.


Although it was not included in the planned participation character of the festival,Yamada TamaI found out.


The ceremony is over and the start of the local character event is finally over, the curtain rises.


The characters are visible, Kapal is in the vicinity of the center but waits in a crouching backward, I feel the atmosphere is not just a person.


By the time the curtains were all open, I was standing facing forward, the back is higher compared to other characters.


Kapal is an official recognition character of Shiki City Sports Culture Promotion Corporation of the Public Interest Foundation, but an authorized character also exists in Shiki City Commerce and Industry Association hosting this event,KappyWhenShigaki Ara.


Since Ohara is a character with a wide front and rear, if you try to shake hands etc, you will mistake yourself and hit your opponent.


There is also a kappa connectionKotaro(Sumida-ku, Tokyo Kitajimagawa) participated.


During the introduction of characters, Kapal greets each character and is turning around,Hula(Saitama prefecture Gyoda-shi) greeting.


Fermented soymilkCapar which behaves cucumbers on.


Buddha(Fukaya city, Saitama Prefecture), "Very cute" voice from the audience was rising, Fucha and Kappy are exchanging greetings but the back Kapal seems to be sitting and taking a break.


Funasshi and Kumamon did not appear from the beginning but hidden until the introduction of other participating characters was over, when the moderator announces the appearance of Fujishi, "Ha Ha haa" and raising the tension Appeared, the cheers are rising.


A camera that is directed to Futsetsu at once.


Jump on your promise, watch overAerial Warrior Tokorozawa One.


Finally appeared, it is a climb that runs swiftly and slips legs.


Funasshi and Kumamon have cheered, and the popularity overwhelms other characters.


Commemorative photo taken after all people 's introduction.


After the commemorative photography is over, the curtain descended and the opening ended.


Since Kapal and Fuji Shi are going to appear on the outdoor stage soon after this, people are overflowing as if they surround the stage and can not be very close to the stage.


In the heavy crowd, Kapal came aboard the Mikoshi.


When you get off the Mikoshi, stage events start, performances such as dancing are done.


The stage finishes in about 5 minutes, Kapal headed for the waiting room by shaking the crowd.


It approached quite close.


On the way to the waiting room, go to own goods shop and fan service.


In front of the waiting room, Funassy is riding the Mikoshi and interacting with fans, soon we are leaving.

I shouted "Hua ha ha" instead of Watashi.


Kapal's head appeared at the timing that he could not see Fuji in a while ... ...


I have hidden Fuudisashi brilliantly.


Togoshi Ginjiro(Shinagawa Ward Tokyo Toshigoshi Ginza shopping district of Tokyo) is doing a photo session and the number of the numbered ticket that can take a two-shot photo with Funassy is posted, the winner will be in the afternoon hall event at the photo session I can participate.


When I returned to the outdoor stage, Fufuza came aboard the shrine, but there were too many people and the situation caused the mikoshi not to proceed.


Although it was in a state where it could not move for a while, it managed to reach the stage somehow, although the sound of the stage can be heard from the speaker, it is difficult to confirm the appearance.

I will show off the pear juice pusher in front, sideways, behind.
