[Many Japanese characters will recognize the black robes Issei's wearing - they're the traditional garments of a Buddist monk in that country. Though the robes are long, Issei wears them comfortably and doesn't come near tripping as he moves across the screen to adjust something, then back to the center.]
My dear community. I understand that this is a bit late and many of you may already have plans, but I would like to formally invite you to the Tanabata celebration in Fuyuki, my home, on July 7th - this Thursday. Those who live in Japan doubtless know the story of Tanabata, but I'll relate it briefly.
Long ago, the Weaving Princess was despondent that due to all the hard work she did every day, she would never find a love. Her father, the Sky King, arranged a marriage for her to the Cowherd who worked on the other side of the heavenly river. The two fell immediately in love and were married; however, once wed, the Weaving Princess would no longer work and the Cowherd's cattle strayed all over heaven, so caught up were the two in each other. Angered, the Sky King forbade them to see each other again. When his daughter cried, he relented, and allowed them to meet on the seventh day of the seventh month. It's said that if there is bad weather on Tanabata, the lovers cannot cross the river and meet each other until the next year.
On this holiday, people write their wishes on slips of paper and hang them from bamboo trees. Streamers are hung everywhere, and the city is filled with color. It's a good time to relax and have fun with your loved ones.
My invitation goes out to all of you. I can't provide a worldhop myself, but they aren't difficult to arrange, and I would enjoy sharing the festival with the rest of DDD.
[Edited additional segment:]
Naoto Shirogane can give you worldhops. She's the first commenter on the page, if you'd like to speak with her about it.
((This isn't an event thing because there's no big thread/post for it, but if you want to say that your character met Issei while they were there or say that something specific happened in Fuyuki, we can talk about it~))
