Sentimental Circus

After the whole town is felt asleep quietly,

neglected abandoned toys are awaking one by one

and gathering together..

"Kuro", performer of the rolling globe.

"Mr. Bear", performer of the tightrope walking.

"Pigu" & "Mamo" performer of trapeze acts.

And when "Shappo", impresario, appears,

the curtain of the mysterious circus, "Sentimental

Circus" goes up somewhere again.
