Fireworks

Tonight there will be fireworks in Juso. About 700,000 people will come, watch and return home. Tomorrow Nishinakajima will be a ghost town.

High school baseball tournament

High school baseball. Now there is a national high school baseball tournament in Osaka. Nishinakajima  has a number of cheap hotels so the city is full of strong young deeply tanned men. They are often seen swinging bats and jogging around the area. Since this tournament is an elimination competition,each day fewer and fewer of these young men are seen around town. 
It's a bit sad but I guess that's life.
