The kids begin performing at an early age in Japan... This is from a local community festival held at one of the elementary schools I teach at. Kids are well rehearsed, and too adorable.
Local entertainment.
Japan=Synchronized Dance.
Occasionally, I have to amuse myself with my students.
The throwing of the
mochi.Games aplenty.
This year's festival had a really kick-ass
taiko group.
For one of the numbers they had folks from the audience come up and play, including one obvious-stands-out-in-a-crowd gaijin.
With no music talent to speak of, I reverted to
eskrima striking patterns I learned back in Hawaii.
Bonus: it's a small local community, so the farmers were selling fresh veg. For cheap. Tomatoes, broccoli, sweet potatoes...
I had to buy extra because they cleverly had the munchkins selling some of the goods.
Try to not find this adorable. I dare you.
That's "L-O-V-E" if you ain't paying attention.
Elementary schoolkids dancing and lipsynching J-Pop. God bless Japan.
The kid in the yellow and white was pretty good. He got funky.
