I introduce a big event in Sapporo. It is Yosakoi Soran Festival. This
is the event of the dynamic Dance with Sound.
In Japan, there are a lot of dances for a long time. One of the dances
of the tradition, it is Yosakoi. Yosakoi started in old times in Kochi
in south Japan.
1991, One student in Sapporo thought while seeing Yosakoi in Kochi. We
wants to dance in Sapporo like Yosakoi. How do?
He came back to Sapporo, and call his friends in his school.
His dream was achieved in 1992. A lot of Sapporo citizens cooperated in
him. Only ten team first time in 1992. Dancers were 1000 people. However,
their dances gave the citizens happiness.
The small dance at that time surprises the world now. The participating
teams in 2008 were 330 teams. Dancers were 33000 people. Spectators were
2 million people.
And now, this tradition is New of Old.
I introduce this festival that became the world scale in the photograph
and real sound.
*The festival is held in June every year.
*The festival is in five days.
*Sound in this page is one of true music of the dance team in festival
2005.
