New Year’s Festival

New Year’s Festival (新年祭り) is a traditional festival held in Orient Town starting on January 1 of each year, to celebrate the New Year. There are a lot of stands and stalls with food, games and such.

The first day of the festival is said to be especially lively, and the festival of 2200 was especially magnificent.

Litchi Faye Ling’s story in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift starts with the festival, and her gag scenario is centered around a board game on Taokaka’s stand, “Something to Du”.
