🎼春の小川はサラサラゆくよ♭♯

There is a gimmick clock called "PalSong" in front of a bank branch office in Urawa. "Palsong" stands for pals(friends) and song. Since being set up in June 1987, it has been popular with adults as well as children as the symbol of Urawa. Watching the PalSong's play reminds me of the gimmick clocks at a church and an old municipal office in Europe, where I had been waiting for the plays when I traveled around Europe in early spring of 1987.
