The Summer Festival Never Ends! Surprise After-Party and Raffle Results Announcement

After the summer festival ends,
you get a bit of a lonely feeling, don't you?

The
Jimakocha Summer Festival that I participated in has also ended...

I'm so lonely!!😭

Just as I was thinking that, I got a notice from
main sponsor Marie-san about...

a surprise after-party project!

I have to participate in this! Thank you, Marie-san!🙏

This is a must-participate! Thank you, Marie-san!🙏

Thoughts on the Jimakocha Summer Festival

At first, I couldn't think of what to open as a stall at all,

I'll open a stall!

I declared it to Jimanyan-san in the heat of the moment, but
I hadn't decided on anything at all...

When I went to Maruyoka-san's stall and saw the festival article, it reminded me of the Bon dance festivals from my childhood, so I opened my stall at the very last minute. KOTAYA-san, thank you for adding it so quickly! I wanted to do something exciting for the people who took the trouble to come to my stall too! That's when I thought of

Speaking of festivals, a raffle.

I did some trial and error with AI to see if I could somehow do that on note as well. I decided to make it a rattling raffle, which I love.

For this, I tried using Ponta-san's Diagram Builder. It's easy to understand!👀 Ponta-san was also running a project, but yesterday was the final day😭

Although I had thought about the contents of the raffle, I wanted to make it something that would suit the people who came to visit!

So,

I made those arrangements. Since I only had 10 tickets prepared at first, thankfully it ended in the blink of an eye,

I thought, if there's an after-party, I want to add more raffle tickets!

So, I added 10 more tickets.

At my stall, I asked people to write their summer festival memories in the comments and
I was so happy to be able to interact with so many people through the comments it was wonderful😭
It's the highest number of comments I've ever had! 🥺

I also visited the other stalls that were set up,

and I was amazed by all the unique stalls with such creative ideas!

Before I knew it, I had closed my own stall and was enjoying interacting at other stalls. lol

Among the stalls unique to note,
one that I personally found interesting was

Chinpan-san's 'AI-scented text rewriting stall'
with a hot-blooded sports club x rap-style intense seasoning and
once they seasoned my past articles,
I couldn't stop laughing no matter how many times I read them.
I even made a thumbnail from the text. lol
(If you're interested, please check the link ♡)

Sena-san's Essay Shop
My theme was 'Summer Traditions'
and they turned it into a wonderful essay.

I saw the after-party article and they wrote 43 essays, totaling about 38,000 characters. Truly amazing!

Raffle results announcement!!!

Thank you to everyone who participated
😊✨

🎊 Grand Prize: The 2nd Ruby Ring Award ✨

Congratulations ✨✨✨
Setsuei-san was the winner 🎉🎉🎉

I had decided the order randomly, so
actually, it was the very last ticket (I added one last minute 🤭)
that was drawn on the final day of the festival 🙌

Here is the video I made as a prize this time 👇

Setsuei-san is always supporting someone's project,
or gently pushing them forward,
someone who is usually on the 'supporting side'.

I'm happy to be able to support Setsuei-san this time 😊✨
I put those feelings into the video.

And, the article Setsuei-san chose 👇
It's not a flashy national anthem, but
it carries the thoughts of our distant ancestors and the wishes of us living today into the future. I thought that passage was truly wonderful.

Results of the first raffle 👇

【My Memories Stall】

All the stalls were so much fun that, honestly, I can't choose just one...
However, the one I have chosen is Setsuei-san's stall.

I'm not good with scary stories or horror, but maybe I can overcome that!?
That's the kind of stall it was.
It also includes my happy feelings about you visiting twice!

Actually, I made a short video about this story too,
but part of it turned into horror... lol. Do you want to see it? 🤭
I'll send it to Setsuei-san secretly.

And, on my own initiative,

The [Papi-san Award] goes to

Shigechi-san, who didn't have a stall this time but held a piggyback event.
You were the leading figure who enjoyed this summer festival more than anyone else.

In the second raffle,
you sponsored it after seeing the comment for the Cotton Candy Award.

Thank you so much!!

Finally, to our organizers Jimanyan-san and KOTAYA-san,
thank you for such a wonderful event!

There were surprises and excitement from start to finish,
and above all, it was impressive that the two organizers were enjoying it right along with us.

I really had a great time too.

Through this event, I've made connections with so many people.

Great work to everyone who ran a stall too!

I'm also grateful to all the sponsors of this event.

Thank you very much!
