(1-English)The show stadium was packed with crowd, maybe larger than that I saw in the "Golden Week" holidays in May or Obon period in mid August. When we entered the stadium about one hour earlier to watch the 13:30 show, seats were entirely occupied and once we got to the space for the wheelchair spectators, we could hardly move.
I tried to get to the food stand for a drink or something carrying or holding Chikako who now weighs 21kg and is 1.3 meter tall, just in vain as I realized it would be difficult to take her back to her stroller while bringing food or a drink cup.
(2)Meanwhile the dolphins, probably being energized by the number of spectators, show us a splendid performance which made me feel rewarding.
I saw the small black she-whale "Sailor" spinning as she swam forward for the first time.
Besides, we had an amusing moment about 15 minutes before the start of the show as "Sailor" and "Sherill"(I'm not sure how it spells), a gray bottle-nosed she-dolphin got onto the stage beside the pool one after the other. Chikako was bending forward as she curiously watch them. I was impressed as they made a move showing consideration for the tired crowd.
