* : "Mochiron" means "certainly! / Of course!" in Japanese. This dance number is about the strange/funny/awkward incidents that are commonly observed by school kids during summer holidays. By making 4 syllable word "mo-chi-ro-n" into 5 syllables "mo-chi-NO-ro-n" , with "no" in the middle, the word keeps the same meaning and the song maintains the easy, consistent rhythm, making it suitable for slow, leisurely bon-odori dancing)
In Japan, there is about a five-week vacation in summer. Children are usually given a lot of homework to do during this time. The common homework for elementary school children is "enikki (a diary with drawings)," and "dokusho kansoubun (to write an opinion or impression of a book that you read)." Also, there is often, "jiyuu kenkyuu (open research - sometimes it is hard to choose a topic)." The deadline for homework is usually September 1st , the first day of a new semester)
Soumen/somen is a popular noodle dish for summer. It is also very simple, cheap and easy to prepare
