A Song for the Night

Following up on the recent shrine renewal post, I thought that I would add some evening shots as well. Over two nights, from 7pm to 830pm, there was a karaoke set-up for anyone who wanted to participate.  Of course, I did not do so, although I would have liked to- but they were singing mostly older songs.  The reason?  Of the twenty or so people there, none of them were younger than retirement age.  I was the sole representative of the under 65 crowd, and even then, I realized that I was no spring chicken.

Nonetheless, I still find these sorts of things fascinating, but I do wonder what will happen in the future.  It is difficult to remain optimistic, but will a young generation rise that will not be mere sheep?
