Listen closely and you should be able to hear

[The dim lighting illuminates Haruka as he stands atop the old high school auditorium stage. He is dressed up, like Kantarou, is the traditional kimono he received some time ago from an item rain. Yep. Yuuko managed to rope him into the Kouhaku Uta Gassen New Year's Eve event as well.

Trying not to look as ruffled and uncomfortable as he feels about the situation he's been caught in, the tengu takes a deep breath and calmly starts to sing.]

[It is a reflection of the traditional enka style of singing, full of emotion. His hand motions and body follow the style of the song where appropriate.

This continues up until the final note, where he lets out a breath of relief and the video recording times out.]

[[ooc The embedded video contains Haruka's song selection "Banba no Chuutarou" as performed by Hikawa Kiyoshi. His voice is provided by the seiyuu Takahiro Sakurai, and so naturally the tone will be lower than Kiyoshi-san's.]]

[BBBZZAP! Haruka lets out a loud shout. Shocked and surprised. Not such a good combination.] Che...

What an unusual festival... [He seems vaguely amused.] Underdressed. But I guess it can't be helped, in such a place.

[A pause. He can't even believe the words that were about to come out of his mouth.] In spite of it all... it was kind of fun.
