We have just 3 days left in solar September, including today who goes by soon. Mei-Shun feels she saw several shapes of moon appeared at night, while rainfalls often blurred them. Her appointment book shows the most gorgeous 十五夜 or 中秋の名月 appeared before a full, called Harvest figure this year: lunar August counted 15th when that celestial beauty was still on gibbous phase.
Welcome back home, Shin. Since a powerful Typhoon Dujuan is approaching Kanto region, he returned one day earlier than scheduled. Ms. Moon was safely picked up at Haneda Airport, where the same flight today could not land. “There were much bigger tea boxes in a supermarket, which an elderly gentleman purchased”, he told Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun.
Hello 7th crescent, great to see you. Clouds of Mikan-chan’s coat shade have covered that celestial beauty so far, excepting new moon on 11th. Shin headed Haneda Airport by Ms. Moon early in the morning: his destination is London this time. When Mei-Shun gazed after him, her nose might catch fragrant olive. It lets her recall high-school festival decades before.
Lunar August has come. Attended by 二百十日; 210th day from 立春=risshun, the 1st of 二十四節気. And 友引 follows; 2nd best among 六曜, yet just after the best 大安 seen yesterday, replacing 4th 赤口. By the way, a weather forecaster said 2026 Tokyo gained only 7-hour sunshine in September. That does not matter Mei-Shun’s “Clair de Lune” practice almost every day.
Thanks a million, Professor M. He kindly sent Mei-Shun above image from Egypt – saying 有明の月 seen at dawn. Photo information in the latter’s mobile phone shows 6:49, Saturday. Did he have breakfast under this purple sky? It seems quite earlier. With 7 hours behind there, it could not be our time. Or 20:25, Sunday arrival of his message matters?
Mei-Shun found clear 十三夜 yesterday, the second best shape of that celestial beauty in night sky. Solar August 2026 would expect 4 including above, 小望月or 幾望, 十五夜 and 満月; makes her look forward to see them all. On the other paw of Mikan-chan, Ibaraki Prefecture heard the 2nd serial heatstroke alert aired today. That means at least half of her wish could come true.
We would expect a 上弦 half moon tonight. Mei-Shun does as well, while wonders if it really happens looking up foggy sky. She turned to her favorite musical instrument, practiced scores composed by great Masters Debussy and Beethoven. Tsukuba horsey riding club visit was scheduled, then easily canceled by severe conditions within Ms. Scarlet. Mr. Marumorita, how are you getting along?
It rained so hard last night, that mom could not sleep well. Her “Clair de Lune” practice might not serve to call that celestial beauty these days. On the other paw of mine, she recently renewed membership in a sumo stable fan club. You can change 推し=favorite rikishi, yet her 名取 heart is always with him whose 四股名=土俵 ring name is seen above. Purr … purrr …

We expect a 下弦 half moon tonight, while a slight rainfall in the morning led a lot of clouds. Once bright sunshine came onto Mikan-chan and Mei-Shun, then gray sky shed foggy tears. Which scores would the latter choose in such a dizzying change, Ms. Piano? Her normal practice starts from “Clair de Lune” – might always call for that celestial beauty in wet weather.
We expected 十五夜, the most gorgeous moon shape last night. Thanks to a rainfall came earlier than forecast, Mei-Shun greeted a 朧月 blurred a bit by thin clouds. She featured scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven before noon, might call both of tearful windows and that celestial beauty. Solar July 2026 had the 2nd brilliant 十三夜 as well, all covered with a hard shower.
