How amazing that you were able to get so close to the action! As others have said, I will proably never visit Japan in the summertime so I really appreciate this kind of content.
Thank you for taking us to this wonderful 2025 Awa Odori Tokushima Festival!!!👏👏🎇🎉
Amazing! Greatly enjoyed, and KUDOS to all of those performers (especially, the band-leader bell-man!) – AND, to those who were able to "let their hair down" and "enjoy in the festivities"/ PARTY! Thank you VERY much for sharing. Cheers!
Very refreshing to see you guys involved in more of a public event, you can really feel the energy
What a beautiful tradition. I am moved to tears. America has no culture 😢
So good 👍👍👍👍
Dziękujemy.
Amazing. Greetings from Canada.
Thanks to your channel for shooting. What an amazing dance. It's nice to see the culture and how everything is organized. We are far from such orders and organizations in Russia, especially in my city. We watched as a family and smiled to tears 😍🥹
도쿠시마 ❤
I like your show.
Lovely filming of the dancers. I love the spirit it shows, of a people’s recovery. Love your films.
沢山練習したんだろうな、暑い中での本番。皆様本当にカッコよくて美しい😊
ชอบฟังเสียงภาษาญี่ปุ่นมันน่ารักดี❤❤❤❤
Thank you for showing us what true joy and dedication to community looks like. I wish our culture in Australia was as rich in history and pride.
A wonderful event!
I love the culture and country of Japanese.
Thank you for sharing this and all the explanations! I have always been fascinated by Awa Odori since the first time I started being interested in Japan. I love all these festivals and old traditions and of course the thing that it brings people closer and makes everyone happy. Next year I will try to be there myself to take part of it all. I plan to move to Kobe (from Sweden) in february so It will be great to be able to participate in all these festivals, big and small. 😄❤
необычные традиции!
This is so cool! Wishing I could be there in person!
Огонь фестиваль -Рио отдыхает)
Habe Euer Video mit sehr großem Interesse angeschaut, es ist sehr faszinierend . Besonders haben mir die ganzen Kleider gefallen. und daß auch die jüngsten mit einbezogen werden, absolut Klasse. Danke für die schönen Impressionen und nette Grüße aus dem fernen Deutschland.
I love your videos about this festival. This festival is amazing, soo much tradition and relaxing and exciting music on it
Huge price difference for the paid seats. The ladies look very beautiful and elegant while the kids are too kawaii desu. Very beautiful costumes. Definitely on my bucket list to see this festival in person someday. Looks like a lot of fun. I want to be a fool and dance. Ty for the amazing and informative video.
is this festival started in Pre-EDO period or during EDO period?
Such a spectacular traditional festival with beautifully costumes dancers.
