thank you Miku, thank you all the fans, thank you Crypton, SEGA, Tokyo MX, Osaka and every single person who made this unforgettable event possible. It was incredible, they did the greatest job to show what the culmination of 10th Anniversary is. From the live concerts, which had an unbelievable setlist every day and a continous flow of sweet emotions and memories, to the exhibition, that it was so dense and packed with content that also on the third day you could have some place that haven't seen and enjoyed yet. I was so happy to see some of my photos published on the Magical Mirai memorial of the previous years, and the atmosphere with all the fans, all the Miku statues and piapro special statues, everything was so perfect. Magical Mirai is really a magical place full of joy and happiness.. this year was so emotional..and every single tear was made by all the great memories I've had and what Miku really mean to me, what we've made together and what we will do in the future.
from the bottom of my heart, thank you♡♡
next Tokyo in a few weeks, and then Sapporo during Snow Miku♪ ♪

No Miku, no life.

Is there anybody here active on the forum who actually lives in Japan and thus can go to Mirai in Tokyo coming up next?
If so, good for you, I am very jealous.
I hope you all got tickets at least!

However, the pebble remains with Silvester, making it impossible for him to communicate or reveal his true identity. Months pass by, and Silvester remains trapped as a rock. He experiences different seasons and weathers, longing to be with his family again. Finally, one rainy day, Silvester's parents decide to have a picnic near the area where their son disappeared. They rest against the very rock Silvester has become, unaware of the truth. As Silvester's parents discuss their son's disappearance and share memories of him, they unknowingly express their wish to find Silvester. In that instant, the pebble becomes the catalyst for their wish, and Silvester transforms back into his true form—a donkey. The family is overjoyed at this miraculous turn of events, and they embrace and celebrate their reunion.

Reviews for "Silvester and the Magic Pebble: Embracing the Present Moment"

1. Emma - 2/5 - I didn't enjoy "Silvester and the magic pebble" at all. I found the story to be confusing and the characters to be underdeveloped. The pacing was slow, and it felt like nothing significant happened until the very end. Additionally, the writing style was dry and lacked any sense of excitement or emotion. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it.

2. Christopher - 1/5 - "Silvester and the magic pebble" was a complete bore. The plot was dull and predictable, and it didn't hold my attention at all. I found the protagonist, Silvester, to be incredibly annoying and unrelatable. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, and the descriptions were lackluster. I regret wasting my time on this book and would suggest looking for something more engaging.

3. Sarah - 2.5/5 - I had high expectations for "Silvester and the magic pebble" based on the positive reviews I had read, but I was left disappointed. While the concept was intriguing, the execution fell flat. The story lacked depth and nuance, and the characters felt one-dimensional. The pacing was inconsistent, with parts of the book dragging on and others feeling rushed. Overall, I was hoping for a more compelling read and would not recommend this book to others.

4. Matthew - 2/5 - "Silvester and the magic pebble" was a letdown for me. The writing style was overly simplistic, making it feel like a children's book rather than a novel for young adults. The plot was predictable, and the character development was minimal. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, and as a result, I didn't care about their fates. The lack of depth in this book made it a forgettable read, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone searching for a captivating story.
