Japanese Festival 2007 - Geisha Dance

[swimao]

omg

[NATSUK0I]

i think it is pretty good, even though it was not traditional :3

i especially like the one in the white kimono, she is very good.

[animebeautie15]

what song is that?

[NejiSupreme]

I agree, this dance was not Traditional, but even though it wasn't traditional it was still ver good for Maiko.

[jaywizardess]

everyone is critisizing how these geisha are dancing. music, the way... whatever. WHERE on the video description does it say TRADITIONAL?!

[SinofBeast]

Memoirs of a Geisha is wrong. It has the authers influences in it and they do not sell there viginity! They sell there skills not there bodys! People who think Memoirs of a Geisha is correct and refuse to believe otherwise are ignorent F*ckers

[JPandCo]

Mizuage did exist, nowadays its is forbidden! Actually geishas were servants of the tayuu and the oiran at Yoshiwara and Shimabara. Basically, tayuu and oiran disappeared because they were expensive, so men found sex pleasure in low ranking prostitutes and the skills of writing, dancing and acting of the courtesans remained in the geishas. Of course Memoirs is wrong (it didn't exist those parties to present only one msiko 4 example.Another thing, geishas never leave Japan! At least the real ones

[AideTsukino]

I can't believe someone that speaks so secure on what he's/she's talking about, can be SO ignorant.

[even though you may know somethings about Geishas, tayuus, and Oirans]

*Geishas did practiced the mizuage. They still do, ONLY if the Geisha wants.

*Geishas were NEVER servants of the Tayuu an the Oiran!!! They just have similar things [dancing, entertaiment, etc]

*The Geishas were never allowed to have sex with clients [only excepting the mizuage]. That's why the "Red District" existed.

[MCRROCKS2310]

どこかの学芸会かな？

[gacktholic]

I agree with angeleyes.

I'm studying traditional japanese dances and...that's not very traditional...

And they don't move like dancers, they look more like girls with a kimono and a weird choreography.

.....poor geishas

[imagelegacy]

This is not the dances that Geisha would do...this folk dancing that you would usually see during obon festival.

[cresenthalo]

wow...i dont know whether to laugh or be pissed off...someone needs to do their homework. I just came home from japan and yes...there are still geisha in the smaller towns.

[alreid2007]

Yes.....My kids are doing a dance similar to this one and It would be appreciated if someone can tell me what song this is.....

[kittycuddleu1]

What song is being used for this Geisha dance?

[McDecember]

They look beautiful. And these fans always work so Hypnotizing.

This gives me goosebumps, I love it.

[angeleyes42087]

they were very beutiful but a geisha would never dance to that music and would never make such drastic movements

[MiMiMimink]

yeah, the music their dancing to is more modernized and not exactly traditional.

It is pretty music though.

[NejiSupreme]

I strongly agree.

[angeleyes42087]

it was alright not very traditional and thats what geisha stand for

[chantelle47]

i dont get it. theyre honoring the tradition! they were so beautiful.

[Calibri95]

Please, tell me, what sing is used for this dance?

[Xx0sHi0xX]

The song is called sakitama by rin'.
