"Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri/Kamisama, Hotokesama" (Japanese: 長く短い祭／神様、仏様^?, "No verão, as noites / God, nor Buddha") is the 15th single of Japanese musician Ringo Sheena. It was released on 31 July 2015 by Universal Music Japan.

"Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri" was used in advertisements for Coca-Cola Japan's 2015 summer campaign. "Kamisama, Hotokesama" was used as an TV commercial jingle for the au smartphone "isai vivid" manufactured by LG Electronics, in which Sheena also stars in the commercial.

A picture of the was used for the album artwork of the single.

Sheena sings two duets in both songs with two of her close male musician friends: Ukigumo (former member of Tokyo Jihen) in "Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri" and Shutoku Mukai for "Kamisama, Hotokesama".

Both videos for "Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri" and "Kamisama, Hotokesama" are directed by Yuichi Kodama. The video of "Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri" is inspired by the song theme "the summer of woman’s life". The first video shows an impatient heroine interspersed with scenes of Sheena and Ukigumo singing a duet together. The session musicians who played the song at the recording session there also appear on the "Kamisama, Hotokesama" video, where they play as spectres of the "Hyakki Yagyō".

Both music videos were released in full on 31 July 2015 at Ringo Sheena's YouTube channel.

All music composed by Ringo Sheena.
