An angel from the moon/ Rika Megumi

Shizuoka is a place, where an angel is coming down from the moon. In Japan, we believe that angels are dancing on the moon. 15 of them are wearing white dress and the other 15 are wearing black. On the first day, All 15 angels with white dress are dancing on the moon. It was the full moon. Day by day, one black angel is out from the stage and a black angel is replacing. So, on 15 days all black angels are dancing. The moon gradually changes its shape every 30 days. This is a Japanese version of explaining how the moon change its shape. This story is also explained in Japanese traditional opera, which is called "Noh opera Hagoromo(It means a dress of the angel)".



Hereby, an angel is falling down from the moon to Shizuoka once again. Her name is "Kaguya" , who is the most famous Lunarian and a princess, or I should call her withname on the earth, "Rika Megumi".



As following the legend, at first she wearing the white costume and she changes to the black dress. This time she dances with a diabolo.



How beautiful her dance is! Maybe her dance is not from the earth, It may be from the moon. Her dance Bewithced us, Bother us and Bewilderd us.




You don't need to go to the moon to see her dance. Just come to Shizuoka. Tomorrow is the last chance to see her dance this year. Her venue is just beside a department store called Isetan on Nov. 4th. I guarantee you that she magic you and you will fall in love with her. Fly me to the moon!!



The angel also give us a message." Thank you Daidogei World Cup in Shizuoka! (Rika Megumi)".
