Who wants to try their hand at Japanese poetry? For this event, your task is to write a Tanka about what Kazamatsuri means to you and post it in this thread. If you aren’t familiar with Tanka from Little Busters, it’s kind of like a haiku but the syllable pattern is 5/7/5/7/7.
This event will run until 23:59 UTC the 24th of December.
Everybody who participates will earn 1 Light Orb for their team for a max of 3.
Have fun!
Team Chocomint collaborated one line each to provide this tanka…
Kazamatsuri
Our online community
A home for Key fans
It is great to be part of
We won’t give up on our dreams
Heh, and my own composition also for Chocomint
A cold, dark rain falls;
Needing source of warmth and light
Kazamatsuri
Alike minds, we find comfort
Sharing thoughts, sunlight returns.
You need 3 people to submit to get full orbs
Though I guess we can give you guys two orbs for two tankas
From Team Buff Busters here is my Kaza Tanka!
Reading together
Post in the forum topic
A single story
With many meanings unlocked
Kazamatsuri Bookclub
And because I first read the rules for this before I had my morning caffeine, I also made this Air one. It may not be worth any orbs, but I like it enough where it gets to piggy back on my actual entry 
Disembark the bus
On the 1000th Summer
A fading contrail
A long Journey at its end
I dream of the Ramen Set
Team Vitamin C here ~ here is our lovely tanka collection!

Kazamatsuri
Where all bonds become stronger
And birds grow their wings;
Effort is the light which drives
the darkest of clouds away
By: @Naoki_Saten
The tight muscle sings
The dazzling Aurora blinks
Taiyaki smells good
In the shine of Rainbow bread
Naoki’s victory squad

Smiles, Laughter, Joy
Like the sun’s soft rays of light
Coming together
Warm winds, a festival day
Our new bonds make me hopeful
Leonard Cohen just dropped by, felt sorry for Chocomint so lent us his words…
Yes I know it won’t count!
Stoop from the shoulder
We all feel so much older
Friends gone, hair is grey
Like a drunk post closing time
Without Kazamatsuri
Gotta make a christmas one for all the folks out there
Celebrate Christmas
With all my Kaza buddies
And the Buff Busters 
Fun in the name of muscle
And a toilet seat cover 
I’ll probably get a lot of weird glances for this one but I will take it all in pride. Gotta embody the 3rd value of Kaza in style 
I toiled hard on this, you guys’d better appreciate:
Kazamatsuri
A well-honed muscle for the
Aspi’s armed forces
Of Dorj’s big round belly
Where laughter comes to be born
I don’t think I’m that good at being literary nor comedic, but I thought about what Kaza meant to me, so here’s what I came up with:
Venture forth we must
Dearest Kazamatsuri
Every great story
If it’s not written by Key
It need be written by us
Thank you to @Bernkastelle for posting my tanka! I wanted to try to write another for this event and came up with something else as well (won’t count too of course)!
Bookclubs of knowledge
A place of contemplation
With oceans of joy
Kazamatsuri becomes
All that Key wants to convey
That’s a wrap! By my count that’s 2 for Chocomint (StarfishBender + Group), 1 for Buff Busters (Miyu + Pepe), 3 for Vitamin C (Kai, Naoki, Bern) and 2 for Team Happiness (Phlebas + Madekuji).
I’ve talked with the organisers and we understand this event was a bit confusing and poorly thought out, so we’ve decided to reduce the cap to two light orbs. So everyone will receive two.
Thanks everyone!
