Original Poison_Sodium Sulfide Japanese Anime Network
In the blink of an eye, 2021 has come to the summer, with the end of the college entrance examination, there are countless mathematicians have been freed from the shackles of academics, ushered in this may be the most free summer vacation in life. Although this year's summer vacation is not as long as in previous years for various reasons.
I remember that when I watched the anime, I always dreamed of the lives of the characters in the anime, and looked forward to the summer seaside, the beach, the sun, and the fireworks festival. Although so many years have passed, whenever I see such stories, I can't help but think of those summer memories that belong to me. After all, it's the best day of the year to go out and play (?). It is also too undeserved to play XX games at home, watch XX animations, or read XX fanbooks. In the hot summer when the sun sprinkles the earth, there are still many pleasures worth experiencing, in order not to waste time, to leave regret memories for youth, let's carefully count what we can do in the summer
01
Beach volleyball
Summer is definitely inseparable from the sea, all come to the beach to play, how can you not play beach volleyball? This kind of rule is simple, the game without explanation is completely quite easy to get started, as long as you walk into the arena, you can participate, and it is not uncommon in the animation, but to be honest, the most suitable candidate for playing beach volleyball is the beautiful girls in the animation, after all, the various cough pictures are the supreme visual enjoyment of boys. And the Japanese are very concerned about the "sport" of beach volleyball (why do you want to put quotation marks?). It is also a very high enthusiasm, and even gloriously made the game "Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball" to make the majority of ACG enthusiasts feast their eyes. The anime also has a beach volleyball-themed work like Haruka Catch (above).
02
Sand buries people
The summer combo in K-ON/"The Girl with the Soft Voice" has vividly proved the fact that "even a flat breast like Xiaowei can pile up huge tits on the beach" (Hey!). In all kinds of animations, there are often plots that bury people in the sand, so how can you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to the beach once in a lifetime? It is said that burying the body in the sand, in addition to using sand to build a variety of interesting human bodies and obtaining "breathless" buffs, through the friction of sand at high temperatures, it can also effectively remove the stratum corneum on the skin on the surface of the body, which has a good beauty effect for girls.
03
Hit the watermelon
As an island country, Japan is not very rich in products, and the price of food, especially fruits, is not cheap, especially watermelon and honeydew melon, which are the most expensive seasonal fruits in summer. Usually, the watermelons sold in supermarkets are sold for more than 1,000 yen each, while melons that are smaller than watermelons sometimes sell for more than watermelons (equivalent to more than 100 yuan each). So even the young man in "Doraemon", who has always been known for having money in his family, can only occasionally enjoy honeydew melon as an after-dinner dessert.
However, such an expensive watermelon has become one of the most commonly played games on the sea in the summer, and it will not stop until it is beaten. "Playing watermelon" is usually considered a game of "if you don't play it, it's not an island vacation", and the rules are very simple: put a watermelon in a specific position, let a player hold a wooden stick blindfolded, find the correct position according to the correct or wrong prompts of the player next to it, and use the stick to break the watermelon. Of course, such games often have a variety of unpredictable storms, general animation will always hit the person next to or the person who hit the watermelon, but there is also a case in "Full Metal Frenzy" in which Sosuke Shota shoots a watermelon with a submachine gun, if the knife technique is exquisite enough, it can also be cut into a few equal parts like "Glass Before Nighttime".
04
Eat watermelon sprinkled with salt
I've just finished beating watermelon, so I'm sure I'm going to eat watermelon next. When Japanese people eat watermelon, there is a custom that many of us do not understand very well - sprinkling salt on watermelon. It is said that this tradition originated in the Okinawa area of southern Japan, when watermelons grown in Japan were far less sweet than imported watermelons, and locals believed that sprinkling a little salt on watermelons could stimulate the taste buds and make watermelons eat and cultivate the field. However, according to the opinion of homestay scholars, this may also be due to the high temperature in southern Japan in the summer, and the lack of salt caused by human sweating, so adding a little edible salt when eating watermelon can simultaneously replenish the water and salt in the body, which makes people feel more comfortable. Many regions in northern Japan will also use spiced licorice salt instead of ordinary table salt to make watermelon taste better, and some regions in southern China, such as Hainan and Taiwan Province, have similar customs. If you are interested, you can also try it.
05
Public pool
Although the seaside is the first candidate for summer, if there is no corresponding condition to go to the beach thousands of miles away from home, and the family is not as rich as Sanzen-in, Suo Ring, Tosaka Rin, who can build a private luxury pool at home, and is not old enough to be able to meet in the family bath like Ha Noi and Okazaki Shio, then go to the public pool in the city to enjoy the fun of playing.
However, there are also many embarrassments in the public pool, maybe the pool will be as crowded as the bathhouse when it is hot, and the bear children running around the ground also have to be wary, and it is also very embarrassing if the fat figure is not successful if it has not lost weight. However, if you can't afford the sky-high ticket to the Maldives, and you are not willing to sell your hue to local friends in order to play with the water, then don't care so much, enjoy the heat in the public pool to avoid the trouble of high temperature. However, when it comes to the citizens' pool in the anime, I am most impressed by the never-ending August pool in "The Melancholy of Haruhi in Lianggong", after all, eight episodes in a row are...

Tanabata Festival Bamboo Leaves Make a Wish
The Tanabata Festival in Japan is different from the Tanabata Festival in China, which is the seventh day of the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar. The Tanabata Festival was originally a ritual activity of the imperial court rules, also known as begging, which was transmitted from China to Japan during the Nara period. It was not until the Edo period that Tanabata became a folk celebration. At first, it was the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, like china, but because Japan changed to the new calendar in the sixth year of Meiji, it was changed to the Gregorian calendar date to facilitate the calculation of festivals.
The Japanese believe that weaver girls are gods who can give girls a pair of skillful hands, so while praying for love and happiness, more girls will write their desire to become skillful on a note and hang them on a bamboo leaf branch to complete the wish. This custom has developed into a Japanese national prayer ceremony, such as the consummation of love, family health and other wishes will be hung on bamboo leaves, but the usual ordinary protagonist will write "world peace" (laughs).
07
fiesta
The Summer Festival is probably one of the biggest festivals of summer in Japan. He also appears frequently in various anime and manga, and it can be said that as long as it is an anime with a school life, the summer festival will definitely appear.
Generally speaking, festivals have a specific theme event, and some festivals are held in ancient times to thank the heavens, such as praying for rain and praying for the elimination of plagues. The heroine of "Your Name" Miyamizu Mitsuba comes from the family of witches in the festival. Under these themes, a large number of mobile stalls with ethnic and local characteristics will emerge at the festival, selling some local foods or crafts. There are also some of the more common ones, such as fried noodles, apple candy and so on. At local summer festivals, girls wear yukata with a Japanese national style. The so-called yukata now does not point out the clothes worn after the bath, in fact, it is a thin kimono, which is easier to wear than a kimono (it may take an hour for a formal kimono to wear a set), the biggest difference is that the backpack around the waist is changed into a bow, and with the group fan, the coin purse This cute equipment can instantly show the biggest cute point of a girl.
08
Fish for goldfish
This kind of street game with local Characteristics of Japan is almost a must-use mode for girls to sell cuteness, although it is generally played at festivals, but it also appears in the usual summer market, and it is a fairly common summer game. In the famous Japanese singer Ai Otsuka's famous song "Goldfish Fireworks", she compares "goldfish" and "fireworks", which best represent the things of Japanese summer, to short but beautiful love.
Fishing for goldfish was actually the earliest folk game from China's Tang Dynasty, and was later introduced to Japan. The stall owner will provide guests with goldfish nets made of glutinous rice paper, guests must fish out the goldfish before the glutinous rice paper melts in the water, and the glutinous rice paper will be directly broken with too much force, in fact, it is a very difficult activity, the goldfish fished out belongs to the guests, and it is often seen in the anime that girls use small bags of goldfish to catch on this stall. However, speaking of which, what impressed me most about the goldfish fishing in the anime was not the girls, but the fact that a piece of music in "Pseudo Love" had emptied all the goldfish in the stall...
09
Fireworks
I put this at the end because I think this is probably the most representative event for Summer in Japan – the Fireworks Festival. In fact, the word "fireworks" is also an imported word, which should be translated as "fireworks" or "fireworks", but maybe everyone can understand it, so many subtitles are now using the original word. The Japanese especially like to admire the fireworks that bloom in the sky on summer nights, and they believe that this magnificent treasure is a flower blooming in the sky, so they call it a beautiful name such as "hanabi". In addition to this kind of fireworks in the sky, some girls will also like small fireworks that can be held in their hands.
Fireworks is the favorite event for young couples, put on a raincoat after dinner, make an appointment to visit the stalls together and then go to see the fireworks together, for couples is the first choice for couples to make love sweeter and longer-lasting dating form. Many Japanese anime have focused on the characters' love of fireworks, such as the middle of "Unheard Flower Names" where several people work hard for fireworks, the girls in "Magic Teacher" watch fireworks and eat watermelons, and more recently, the big plan implemented by the student council in the final episode of the first season of "Miss Hui Ye Wants Me to Confess" in order to make Hui Ye see the fireworks.
In fact, in addition to the above- summer activities, there are many more, such as air guns, catches and so on, but due to the length of the reason, this article can only list some of the more common in the anime. These activities are not very advanced, some may be childish, but they represent the simplest happiness of young girls, leaving behind the boredom and depression accumulated in the daily life, and enjoying the hard-won summer in the sun. Perhaps this is the most desirable, belongs to the summer, belongs to the memories of youth.
