Tokushima City's Awa Odori kicked off on the 12th, and one of the biggest showgrounds, “Total Odori”, was held at the theater for the first time in two years. .
Last year, Awa Odori in Tokushima City was confused over its operation, and one of the biggest showcases, “Total Odori”, was held in the city instead of a performance hall.
In response to this mess, the operation was entrusted to the private sector, and Awa Odori, the first one of Ryowa, opened on the 12th.
This time, “Total Dance” will be held every day for 4 days at 4 paid performance halls, and on the 12th day of the first day at Ashiya Town Dance Hall where no total dance has ever been held. About 1,500 dancers performed.
First, the person in charge of the instrument called “Narumono”, such as the flute, shamisen, and percussion instruments, slowly entered while playing the unique rhythm “Zomeki”, followed by dancers.
The audience showed great applause and cheers when the gorgeous “woman dance” that matched the breath and the “man dance” that featured the dashing shout and heroism were performed.
Mr. Minoru Yamada, President of the Awaodori Promotion Association, who performed “Total Dance,” said, “It is incredible to be able to dance for the first time in two years.
A man in his forties from Tokyo said, “The sound of“ Zomeki ”was loud and it was very powerful and impressed that many people were dancing.
