I have no idea what an うぐいす sounds like, so I just consider the first WAAAAAAAN WAAAAAN WAAAAAAAAN WAAAAAAAN WUP Waaaan of the bosozoku as the signal of the arrival of spring.
Hahahaha, oh Mike...you have a way of making something sound amuzing But yeah, I guess you are right


As for me, summer in Belgium is rather relative, you can count the days it's really hot on your 2 hands!In summer the days are long and in the morning it's bright early, when autumn comes it's dark until 8am or later and it's dark early at night.Winter isn't that much as there is hardly to no snow spring...well , let's say I can't make a difference between spring and summer
