No worries even on rainy days?  A special article for umbrella characters!

 

 

(。-`ω-) “Hello everyone.  Speaking of a rainy day, I always remember ‘Rain’.  It’s Saori from Otaku Republic.”

 

 

(  'ω') “Hello everyone.  Speaking of a rainy day, I would say ‘Teru teru bozu”!  I’m Otaku Republic’s Boss!”

(。-`ω-) “I wonder if everybody knows about ‘Teru teru bozu’ though...”

 

 

(  'ω') “Then let me explain.  Teru teru bozu is a doll made with white cloth or paper and it’s one of the charms making the following day ‘sunny’, by hanging it down in front of the house on a rainy day.

(  'ω') “They look adorable and cute if we draw faces like this, don’t they?”

 

 

(・∀・) “Right!  Since this item frequently appears in Japanese anime, try to find it!”

(  'ω') “By the way, what’s ‘Rain’ that you just associated?  Is it a movie?”

 

 

( *´艸｀) “Of course!  It’s a horror game!”

(  'ω') (I wonder why she’s into horror games so badly....)

 

 

(´,_ゝ｀) “This is the game in which a boy and a girl who are invisible try to escape from the town on a rainy night.”

 

 

 

 

(  'ω') “I can’t believe that you shared this game even with PV with everyone, despite that we don’t have any items of this game in Otaku Republic...!”

 

 

(´,_ゝ｀) “This game has the most wonderful world view among all the horror games that I have recently played.  Even though it’s not described as horror, these two (boy and girl) escape from chasers with a unique system that they are visible when the rain is hitting them and they are invisible when the rain is not hitting them....  I really recommend this game.  Why don’t you play this on a rainy day?”

(  'ω') “By the way, why did you ask me ‘Speaking of a rainy day...’ at the beginning?”

 

 

 

ε＝（‐ω‐；；） “That’s because.... we’re going to have a rainy season pretty soon in Japan.”

(  'ω') “This picture is easy to understand.  Yes, June in Japan is kind of like an unmotivated month full of humidity and rain, being muggy all over Japan.”

 

 

( _´ω`)_ “As I mentioned at the previous Saori Press, June doesn’t have any national holidays, which makes me (Saori) unmotivated too...”

(  'ω') “No, it isn’t.  It’s the whip of love.”

 

 

)`Д゜;;) “Then please use a sweeter one from next time!”

 

 

(  'ω') “It depends on how motivated you are.  Come on, get started!  Work hard!!”

 

 

ヽ(ヾ;´Д`))) “Mmmm....  Oh well, here is a special article for the character today!”

(  'ω') “Oh!  It’s related with rain, huh?”

 

 

ヽ(・∀・*)ﾉ “Yep!  I thought there were unexpectedly many kinds of anime that are related with rain.  So I did research on it!  Are you guys ready now?  Those are the beautiful characters that are always with umbrellas (not always though...), as if their figures are just like flowing water.

(  'ω') “There are more Japanese-style umbrellas.... unexpectedly...?”

 

 

(σゝ∀・)σ “The umbrellas they have are called Bangasa, which is a Japanese traditional umbrella!  It’s one of the nostalgic umbrellas for the rainy day, which are made with Japanese paper and bamboo.”

(  'ω') “Oh by the way, I found some characters using this Bangasa...”

(`･ω･´)っ “Of course, it can be a weapon!”

 

 

(  'ω') “No way!  It can’t be!  What age are you talking about?  People who read this article will be shaken, being scared, when they visit Kyoto!”

(。-`ω-) “Unfortunately, the umbrellas that we currently use can’t be weapons...  Too bad!”

 

 

(  'ω') “Come on.... please do not break the image of good and old Kyoto.  Maiko-San use this umbrella even this present time.  This Bangasa has been loved by so many people since their materials are cheaper and the umbrella itself is stronger than any other umbrella that was made a long time ago.”

(ﾟ∀ﾟ) “Isn’t it pretty...?  I can’t help but think that I’m out of reality and that I’m a part of the anime and the game.”

 

 

(  'ω') “That’s right.  Maybe we could even love a rainy day, if someone put up such a wonderful umbrella for me!”
