This video wasn't in Missouri it was actually in Japan. I should know because I am in this video!!! This is great I wonder where you guys found this?

[allgoo19]

Basically, the spirit of Bon odori is boy meets girl under the watch of returned ancestors.

Under the festival lighting, everybody becomes mysteriously attractive.

[Inuyashachick12]

Oh, I love the Japanese Festival at MBG! I try to go every year.

[LabakiTurbo]

The problem with Bon Odori dance is that just when you learned it, the song stops. :P

[LabakiTurbo]

Woooow, I love these songs! I use to have this in my city (Araçatuba) back in Brazil... Miss it a lot.

Btw, what a gorgeous girl on stage in the beginning of the video!

Btw2, I didn't know there were japanese imigrants in Missouri. Nice to know...

[sotubo]

Hello. Thanks to disclose the japanese culture. There is also in the city Andradina, Brazil, the same tradition. The Bon Odori is based on Budhist tradition, more than 500 years of history. Search by Bon Odori Andradina.

This dance looks interesting - anyone know the ?ame of the dance

[Reitoku]

song is Kiyoshi no Zundoko Bushi (きよしの　ずんどこぶし.). Name of singer is Hikawa Kiyoshi - Prince of Enka

[882199]

Thank you. What is the name of the dance? Is it called "Tokyo Ondo" or "Bon Odori"?

[Reitoku]

This kind of group dancing going around in a circle is called "Bon Odori". "Bon" is a festival to mark respect for ancestors and "Odori" means dance. During Bon Festival there will be Bon Odori organized all around Japan and most traditional one is Gujo Odori in Gujo Hachiman. "Tokyo Ondo" is one of the famous bon odori dances. You can find many kinds of bon odori dances uploads in youtube. enjoy them...

[882199]

Thank you for the explanations - very much appreciated. My seniors group enjoyed this very much when I introduced it to them. Have a nice day.
