Super Yosakoi

I am back. Current status: I have beaten the virus (or that’s what I think), my friends are travelling around Japan (like them), and the news report that prime Minister of Japan has resigned. He has just resisted one month me being in the country… Will it be because of me?

Anyway, let’s focus in more interesting things. A couple of weeks ago, although it was raining, I went to see a festival I had been recommended, the Super Yosakoi. And I enjoyed it a lot. (A lot = more than 5 hours)

It consisted in groups of people with songs combining both traditional and modern Japanese music, one or two singers, beautiful colourful dresses, and a very nice choreography.

It was impressive to see so many non-professional people, from different ages (there were groups covering a range of more than 50 years), dancing at the same time.

Now, I give you the opportunity to see a some videos of these performances.

You can find other videos in Youtube: Video 1 – Video 2 – Video 3

It’s a good flavour of the japanese culture: group identity and karaoke. 🙂
