The Waka Murasaki Chapter from “the Tale of Genji" (Genji Waka Muraski), from a series of Genji parodies

We’ve finished doing our hair and put on the perfect outfit. Now it is time for the first event of the night, the pre-game. Our friends gradually begin to gather at our place and the excitement begins to grow. We put on some music and sing along as we pour ourselves some drinks. Drinks at the bar are so expensive. We’re just being economical, really! Plus who wants to show up at a bar stone-cold sober? Huddled together in the cozy comfort of our home we catch up with our friends, enjoying their company as it mixes with music and the first effects of alcohol.
