((Route)) [029] Video/Action Goldenrod [China's Bday]

[gochuugoku]

[Today is October 10 and it is drizzling in Johto. China can be seen walking around Goldenrod, holding a red umbrella over his head. His Glaceon, Meimei, happily jumps into puddles as she follows her master. China looks into the various shop windows until something in the music shop catches his eye.]

Oh! They actually have one, aru!

[Video]

Hold the camera nice and steady, Meimei.

[China can be seen standing behind an interesting-looking instrument. He tests the strings first, before playing this song. Pay attention at how he's using his fingers. When he's finished he looks up at the gear, smiling gently.]

Today is my birthday, aru. Also, I first arrived in Johto on October ninth last year, a day before my birthday. [He sighs, but keeps smiling.] I have noticed that there are quite a few people who also have their birthdays in October, so consider the song I just played as my gift to you all, aru.

Oh? Is yours also on October tenth, then?

Yep! It's funny, it seems like there's a lot of 'em, huh?

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am surprised to see so many people with October birthdays in October, aru!

My name is Wang Yao, by the way. What is yours?

Hibiki! Hibiki Ganaha!

What was that really cool instrument you were playin'? I've seen it before, I think, but I never really asked about it.

If you've ever been to China, or maybe you could have seen it in Japan somewhere, aru. This instrument is called the guzheng and it originated in China.

[He strums a couple of the strings.]
