Hot. So hot.
Festivals are exciting-hot, but today is just plain hot.
Exciting-hot is fine, but too-hot is something else…
This summer is looking intense, so I went to Tokyu Hands and picked up some gear.
【Item 1】 A clip that attaches a water bottle to your belt.
At live shows you’re jumping, dancing, getting jostled — you need your hands free.
I’ve been getting by with a small shoulder bag, but I’m planning to go bag-free from here on.
Hydration is crucial at festivals. But where do you put the bottle?
You don’t want to hold it the whole time. Enter this thing.
Clip it to the belt and problem solved.
Hopefully that makes things a bit more comfortable.
【Item 2 ??? Hat】
Sorry, this one’s a quiz.
Very personal, aimed at colleagues from the same company…
I’ll keep it blurred for now to preserve the fun of guessing.
I spent a full hour agonizing over which one to buy with so many options — finally landed on this one.
If someone guesses right in the comments, I might unblur it… after the fact.

Well, it’s hot out there. A hat is basically mandatory.
I have a big head, so hats almost never fit me well — I spent a solid hour struggling at the hat section while my companion got fed up and wandered off.
Last time I wore a hat was probably the Komeda Coffee uniform back in my university part-time job days.
And on top of that, I picked up a picnic sheet — for relaxing in the seated areas at the festival.
With that, preparations are complete. Bring it on, festival season.
