Obaba's Golden Age: The Legend of the Snow Child. Actually, I was a star in junior high. When it comes to the past, whoever says it first wins.

Hello everyone. It's Obaba.
Today, let's talk a little about Obaba in the past.

Actually, back in the day, Obaba was
a star in junior high school!!

At our junior high, the autumn school festival was famous, and it was a festival centered on cultural clubs like choir, brass band, and theater, held in the gymnasium with black curtains drawn to make it look like a movie theater.
(It was fully equipped with professional spotlights.)

Among them, the play performed by the drama club at the very end, which was just like the Shiki Theatre Company (I'm exaggerating quite a bit), was the biggest, biggest, biggest main event.

One week before the school festival, a booklet like a magazine called "The School Festival" would be distributed to all students by the festival committee.
The first thing everyone would look at there was the drama club's play and the cast.

And when Obaba was in her third year,
Obaba, who admired the Takarazuka Revue, was of course in the drama club.
The play that year was "The Snow Child."
And the lead role of the Snow Child was... believe it or not, it was Obaba.

Oh man, the classroom was buzzing the day that was handed out!

The boys teased me quite a bit,
and all the girls came up to me saying, "Amazing, amazing!"
Even kids from other classes came to see me.
That's how much of a main event it was.

Even my mother at home made a huge fuss.
She told the neighbors, friends, and even relatives, bragging about her daughter's success.
My mother ran a barbershop, and
she actually invented a mysterious short bob called the "Snow Child Cut."

From the day the performance ended,
girls from the junior high school all came to our barbershop
asking to get the "Snow Child Cut" (this is a true story).

If I even tried to walk down the school hallway,

"Hey, isn't that the Snow Child?"
"Oh my! I saw the Snow Child!"
"The Snow Child is so cute!!"

I was like a star!!

The boys even formed a "Snow Child Fan Club,"
and Obaba suddenly became the person of the hour.
Obaba, who was actually a little cute back then, became even more popular.

That brings back such memories.
This is a story from Obaba's golden age.

Now, as for the traces of that...
there is a picture in the back of a slightly musty graduation album
of the Snow Child singing all by herself.
(Look, it's the Shiki Theatre Company, after all.)

Just that one photo.

A memory that everyone has already forgotten.

But if you ask Obaba,

"When it comes to the past, whoever says it first wins!!"

I mean,
It's like, someone better remember me!!

And that's that.
