Ahaha!

I am Japanese,

and I live in Chicago,

and I go to Bon Odori, and we do most of the songs in this

You do a wonderful job,

I hope you many wonderful Obons like this one

The Sukiyaki dance with the kachi kachi was cute. Too bad I never make it to the San Jose Obon... And I'm fairly sure we've done Oyama Ondo, but with a completely different dance. Weird, weird...

interesting such a different selection of songs compared to hawaii. some of the Tanko Bushi movements differ from ours, I might have recorded that one...

check out an obon odori if you are in a major city with a Japanese-American community. Obon Odori is typically in July and August. Most churches are very happy to have members of the public join in.
