Creating Fireflies With LEDs in the Sumida River

Alex

For the inaugural Tokyo Hotaru Festival, 100,000 LED lights were placed in the Sumida River to resemble the fireflies that once inhabited it. Powered by 100% solar power, the beautiful display kicked off the summer festival.

I have never heard that song before. Ever.

I, too, was trapped on this ride for about 45 minutes when I was a very young teen. The repetitive music quickly becomes a form of torture that has been recognized and banned under the Geneva Conventions, and the creepy, dirty, cracked and peeling animatronic dolls were frightening.
I refused to go on this ride ever since.

It's lovely! How can you hate on ''It's a Small World"? Dude. I saw it with my folks when I was a child and I STILL remember it. It's sweet. Sweet is fine, you know. Kids like sweet. So do many adults.

Children's Choirs. Uuuugh. I, however,like it's a small world. I like to drive my husband crazy with it, but he is always amazed that I know all the words. It really is a short song...

I can understand people not liking bagpipes, accordions, banjos, or synthesizers, even though I'm quite a bagpipe fan. But harps? The harp has such a beautiful sound!
