Please also don't forget to check out my other videos of the 2010 Nisei Week Japanese Festival!

The 70th Annual Nisei Week Japanese Festival: 二世週祭
http://www.niseiweek.org/

Nisei Week (二世週祭, Nisei-shū Matsuri) is an annual festival celebrating Japanese American (JA) culture and history in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. Nisei means 2nd generation in Japanese, describing the first American born Japanese, a group which the seven day festival was originally meant to attract. Though named for the Nisei generation, Nisei Week is no longer targeted at Niseis, nor is the festival still contained within a week. Nisei Week Foundation president for 2006, Michelle Suzuki, described the festival as "the opportunity for people of all backgrounds to celebrate Japanese heritage and culture."

Festivities are held over one month, though the main attractions are held during the primary two weekends of the festival in mid-August. Nisei Week draws tens of thousands of participants each year from both the Japanese community and Southern California area, mostly to its Grand Parade and specialized festivals. The 70th Annual Nisei Week will take place on August 14-22, 2010.

We live on this beautiful planet, Mother Earth, breathe the same air, and drink the same water. We are all brothers and sisters and members of the human family.

Life is a precious gift to enjoy, celebrate, and appreciate! Life is a choice, and we need to choose to be happy! We make things happen by wishing them! Ask, Believe, then Receive! Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated! Thank you!

I appreciate the people who can respect our differences and can treat others with respect, gratitude, good manner and positive attitude! Thank you for reading this note, and thank you for choosing to see my pictures and to watch my videos! Have a wonderful day to you all!

In this karate tournament, there were the two Shito-Ryu Karate-Do Genbu-Kai Black Belts. First one is the shorter gentleman (Yondan/4th Degree Black Belt) who fought against the taller and bigger gentleman in the round one fight (5th fight in round one). He lost at the Semi-Final fight. Another person is the gentleman (Shodan/1st Degree Black Belt) who has mustache, wore the red gloves, and fought at the last round one fight (8th fight in round one). He lost at the round one fight.
