♪　A fire extinguisher

In Sakamotocho Park, in front of Sakamoto Elementary School, there is a town corner exhibition hall, where mikoshi and fire extinguisher from Kayabacho and Kabuto-cho neighborhoods are displayed. It is brilliant, powerful, and just looking at it, you can feel the spirit of successive generations.

♪　Tokanbori and Ginkgo

I write Inaribori and read it as Tokanbori. A long time ago, the road where Tokanbori was used is now nicknamed Tokanbori Street. After crossing the main street, you'll find Ginkgo Inari. There is a large ginkgo tree there, and the local people grew up looking at this ginkgo tree from a young age.
I wonder if the Inari of Tokanbori is this ginkgo Inari.

♪　The continuation of the song

This song is still going on.
I think the video sung by the local people in each scene is interesting. It feels like the people who sing are changing with each flavor. It feels like a baton touch of a song.
Minato-ko sings with a single guitar, but since it's a long song, I'd like to incorporate other instruments so that it doesn't become monotonous. It sounds interesting to change the drum pattern in each town and make changes, and add sounds that represent the characteristics of the area to the accompaniment.
For example, in the scene of Kayabacho that I sang this time, there was a lively voice holding a mikoshi behind it, and in the scene of Hamacho, it would be interesting if I arranged like that, such as listening to the Bon Dance of Edo. I think it is interesting.
From now on, I will continue to sing the city of Chuo-ku!
One day, my dream is to sing a big chorus with everyone who loves Chuo-ku!
