On Halloween day, I went to Universal Studios Japan in Osaka with my university friends. We went there in the evening and stayed until the next morning. We took a night bus from Yokohama to Osaka. I slept almost the whole time on the bus, so when I woke up, my back and neck really hurt. After we arrived, some problems happened. One of my friends forgot something on the bus, and another friend lost her phone. It was very stressful, but we managed to solve everything in the end. Before going to USJ, we visited a hot spring. It was my first time in a long while, and it felt so relaxing. I thought that I want to go to a hot spring more often. At USJ, we rode many attractions, and I was really happy. The park was full of Halloween decorations, and everyone was wearing costumes. It was exciting to see so many people enjoying themselves. On the way home, we took a train for nine hours back to Yokohama. We stopped in Atami and ate delicious seafood bowls. Although the trip was a little hard, I think I had a wonderful Halloween experience that I will never forget.

Last Sunday and Monday, I joined a special event called the Dream Yosakoi Festival. It was held in our city, and many teams came to dance and celebrate together. I was very excited because I love dancing, and this festival is one of the biggest events of the year. This time, the festival was extra special. For our seniors, it was their last Yosakoi performance. I felt a mix of emotions happiness, sadness, and deep respect. While dancing, I looked at my seniors and saw their smiles. Some of them had tears in their eyes. I danced with all my heart, hoping to make this moment unforgettable for them. During the performance, I made eye contact with many people my teammates, the audience, and even strangers. Every time our eyes met, I felt a strong connection. It made me feel happy and proud. I realized that dancing is not just about movement. It’s about sharing feelings and creating memories together. After the festival, we took many photos and talked about our favorite moments. I will never forget this experience. It reminded me how powerful teamwork and tradition can be. I want to keep dancing and make more beautiful memories with everyone.
