As the summer night gradually deepens, the lights of the towering buildings shine brightly.
From the valley, Bon Odori music and flute and drum music flow.
Even if you lean out of the balcony, you can't see the venue behind the building.
Surely, local people are making dance rings in elementary school yards and temple squares.
When you listen to the music, the song naturally comes with your mouth.
"Hito becomes a ring, the ring becomes a flower."
Oh, that song is good.
People gather, make a circle of dance, and spread like a flower.
It just overlaps with the appearance of fireworks opening large flowers in the night sky.
I heard that Masato Fujita's lyrics were supplemented by Tsuneharu Takita.
In the year I came to Tokyo to live a student life, I participated in the Bon Dance Workshop on what I got lost.
One of the lesson songs at that time was this "Great Tokyo Ondo".
This is a fairly full-fledged workshop, and the participants are wearing veterans and yukatas.
I'm the only student.
"I'd like sushi. You are young, so if you continue to do so, you will be able to do so.”
I know it is a social order.
But if you think about it, Bon Odori was close to me.
The central song of Bon Odori in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, is "Aizu Mount Bandai" where songs begin at Enya Farm.
Mount Bandai, which looks far away, is a "treasure mountain" that moisturizes the land of Aizu.
Take with your family and friends of the children's association and surround the tower set up on the main street of the city.
The circle spreads from the end of the street to the end, and as time passes, it increases double or triple.
Choreography is simple, so even if you are a first-time person, if you turn half a lap, it will be enough.
"Ohara Shosuke! Why did you smash it!”
This music was screaming with a child dancing nearby and shouting.
Japanese lantern, which goes down around the tower and every eaves of the store, felt very bright now.
By the way, here in Chuo-ku, the summer festival and the fireworks festival season are also Bon Odori seasons.
"Chut and Zhu ~ Chutto Chuo-ku ♪"
Hey, he's gone. Chuo-ku Ondo.
"This is the Bon Dance of Edo"
I'm going to dance, so it's high.
The rhythm with Chuchu is cute, isn't it?
And the Bon Dance to be performed from now on ...
The aim is Hamacho Park, which will be held from Friday, August 23 to 24 (Sat).
Its name was 'Oedo Festival Bon Odori Festival'
There is also an opening parade from 17:00 on the 23rd.
It's a chance to make a cool decision.
Let's wear a yukata!
