Tokyo Bay Fireworks 2015 / 東京湾花火大会 2015

My friend Tetsu who lives in a mansion that overlooks Tokyo Bay invites a few of his friends over every year to check out the fireworks from his balcony.  My wife and I haven't gone in a while as the train station is really crowded and it is no fun trying to make our way through the masses.  However, since apparently this is the last year of the Tokyo Bay Fireworks, we decided to brave the throng.  Our friends Yukio and Reiko were also invited.  And we would be meeting up with a few of Tetsu's other friends, including his ex-girlfriend.  Of course, the fireworks are nice, but its the gathering of friends while eating and drinking that is the main focus!  Always a good time.

友達のてっちゃんの住まいでバルコニーから東京湾が眺める。毎年てっちゃんがいろんな人を誘って、自分のマンションから東京湾の花火を楽しむ。今年が東京湾花火大会が最後みたので、久しぶりに参加。旅仲間の幸男と玲ちゃんも合流する予定。てっちゃんの他の友達も会う。なんとてっちゃんの元カノも参加だって。花火は良いですが、やっぱり友達が集まって楽しく飲んで、食べて、騒ぐの一番だな。超楽しい時間だった。

Food First.

先は食べ物だな。


 
 
Those are people down there gathered together to watch the fireworks.
 
下に人がいっぱい。みんな花火大会が好きだね。
 
 
 
 
 
 
Still a little light out but the fireworks show has started.
 
まだちょっと明るいが、花火大会が始まった。
 
 
Now, enjoy the show!
 
さてさて、あなたも花火を楽しんでください!
