The second part of the performance on the second day has ended, and Akikos' entire schedule has now come to a complete close.
The first day the weather looked ominous, the second day was scorching hot.
I was able to see some amazing performances at both shows, and I vowed to continue to follow Akikos' performers in the future!

Akikos, after participating in an outdoor event

This was my first time participating in an outdoor event.
The location was not bad and it was just a short walk from the station, so I was able to get there and back with relatively little trouble.
Both the organizers and participants of the event were very enthusiastic and seemed very serious about it.
Also, unlike regular indoor events, the open-air stage had a different appeal to it.
