History of Halloween

Originally,Halloween was a harvest festival of Celtics. From the origin it was event of an Anglo-Saxon.

The　Celtics had faith in many nature gods. Especially, god of sun charged the harvest and the work. So they thought it was very important. Even more they determined the November 1 was the first day of the year. The reason is that they thought cold and dark day start from this day. The legend of Celtics the god of sun was taken as a hostage by the god of death and price of darkness. The god of death invited the dead person and devil. So people got the new fire. They danced around the fire to drive off the devil. Also they did the parade. And they wore the costume made by fur of animals.

This　is the story of the star of 80’s. Now he is only do small event for middle age women. His age come close to him. However the chance come to him . The singer cola ask him to offer the new song. His music write talent is long time left. And he poor at write the lyrics. At that time , a girl who does part-time work, at his room song to oneself the pharse. He thinks it is very good. He thinks she is the best partner. She refuse to write the love song but his melody start again. Thanks to her talent.

That is the first time Hugh Grant sing the song and dance. The clothes imitate the 80’s.

The time the cola’s concert open the love song opening dramatic. It makes people happy.
