* First part of a song sung on Hinamatsuri by girls as they ornament a stand on which are placed lots dolls. Also there are bonbori, a kind of standing lantern at the top. The song goes something like, “Akari o tsukemasho bonbori ni, ohana o agemasho momo no hana. Go nin bayashi no fue taiko. Kyou ha tanoshii hinamatsuri.”
** August 8 is “Fuji TV Day” since Fuji TV is channel 8 in Tokyo and its suburbs.
