White, yellow, pink, yellow, yellowish green, light blue, etc.
I was disappointed in a good sense to have items that excite Bon Odori without making a voice.♪
I thought of a yellow-green bracelet because I was wearing green clothes on this day, but when I was young, I remembered that I bought a thick pink bracelet at a summer festival, so I chose pink .

This time it was held for the first time in three years, and there were greetings from the mayor of Chuo-ku, members of the Diet related to Chuo-ku, and members of the lower house of the Diet, and the revival of the long-awaited Bon Odori just by the ward. Was.

The song is a lineup of about 15 songs, including Edo Bon Dance, Ginza Kankan Musume, Oedo Tokyo Ondo, Kiyoshi's Zundkobushi, Dancing Hero, Bahamas Mama, Coal Mine, and Tokyo Ondo.
It was impressive to see men and women of all ages dance with great excitement.

At the same time, I was reminded of something I had been interested in before.
"Why are everyone mastering choreography so much?...」
This is not limited to this venue, but I've been wondering since I moved to Chuo-ku.
It may be possible that only those who are good at Bon Odori are coming to the venue, but I was worried about how they remember choreography, so this year I asked the people at the venue.

A woman who has lived in the local area for a long time, "I volunteered and practiced several times."
A man dancing in Norinori "Some people seem to learn choreography by participating in practice sessions."

Apparently, it seems that everyone is gathering together and practicing.

In addition, when I went to the 67th Setomono Market, I saw such a poster.
The 3rd Oedo Happy Festival 2022, a Bon dance that was connected on the web that started in response to the corona epidemic.
Chuo-ku is also sponsoring, and it seems to be a popular project in which more than 200 pairs participated in the past.

On the website, there are three practice videos of "Dancing Hero", "Tokyo Ondo", and "This is Edo Bon Dance". There was also a plan.
In this case, those who are not in the town council or those who have just moved in can practice at home at any time.

There were no food or drink stalls at the Bon Odori venue due to the effects of the infectious disease, but tea was distributed for hydration.
Sweets were sometimes distributed to children, and relatively many people came to play with their families.
And there is no garbage compared to when the stalls came out, but the "garbage station" also played a firm role.

In addition to Bon Odori, there was a game corner for children as usual, and we could see them enjoying games unique to summer festivals such as beach ball scooping.

As an aside, one more popular with children was the inspection vehicle stored in the Kyobashi Fire Department 4th Branch Disaster Prevention Equipment Garage.
It seems that I was able to actually take a picture in a car.

Last but not least, from 17:30 to 20:30 on Friday, August 26 and 27 (Sat), the 32nd Chuo-ku Oedo Festival Bon Odori Tournament will be held at Tatehamacho Park in Chuo-ku. Will be
This event was held for the first time in three years, and some events and corners were suspended due to the effects of infectious diseases, but the Bon Dance Festival and the Oedo fair Corner were held as scheduled.
Why don't you wear a yukata and dance 13 songs such as Chuo-ku Ondo "This is Edo Bon Dance"?

If you don't know how to dance, it's still in time!
You can practice at home while watching the practice video, or you can learn by imitating the movements of the people around you at the venue.
Some restrictions continue, but I hope that Bon Odori in Chuo-ku will be a good summer memory for everyone.
