Prompt (original, unmodified)
A 30-second photorealistic smartphone travel vlog. A young Japanese woman wearing a pastel yukata explores a traditional Japanese summer festival at night. She films herself in selfie mode with natural handheld movement, realistic phone camera quality, and authentic ambient sounds. She walks through lantern-lit streets, buys fresh takoyaki and smiles after taking a bite, plays a traditional festival game and wins a small plush toy, then watches a spectacular fireworks display with the crowd, capturing her genuine excitement. She ends the vlog by waving at the camera and saying, \"Thanks for coming with me. See you next time. Bye!\" The video should feel natural, cinematic, and realistic with consistent appearance, smooth human motion, and authentic festival atmosphere.
