Dance on the Street (Rojo no Mai)

A Japanese girl dressed in a kimono performs a a dreamlike Japanese buyo-dance in the middle of Osakas busiest street, with cars and buses driving by in close distance. This video expresses the dilemma of contemporary Japan. Its ancient traditions have become like sinking islands in a recent flood of modernization. Video work by Roger Walch (www.rowmuse.com).

she must be superwoman to do something like that....

What do you mean, coincidence? Seems to me that it's a simple task to make a routine that's short enough to do in between light changes, which is completely predictable.

that was dangerous...

[b1dover]

i dont see how this can be dangerous, the cars are driving in straight lines, so she'll be safe as long as she sticks in one place and the drivers dont aim for her.

heh, without Japan, you can say goodbye to your precious Nintendo GameCube.

I dont know what to say, the fact that the video was so shit and not high quality. And the coincedence as soon as she finished everyone started walking across.
