ikki.mpg

A video of the Ikki (the best English student in Goshoura) reciting his English story at the Culture Festival. This story is straight out of the 9th grade textbook... shocking what these kids are studying, and most of them don't even understand (Ikki does though).

A music/dance performance at the Goshoura Culture Festival. Cute dance, although, like many of the other performances, it's not very enthusiastic. Not sure why.
