August 28th: Koenji Awa Odori Day 2

As with the previous day, the event was held during the daytime, and the sun was really dazzling our eyes, but thankfully it wasn't so hot as to affect our dance. Muscle fatigue from Saturday's performance had also started to set in and I was thinking that I should maybe pace myself a little, but our friends from Tokushima Yebisuren who came all the way to Tokyo to support us made me determined to put everything I had into giving the best and most enjoyable performance I was able to throughout the afternoon.

I was continuously delighted that the team's dance as a whole as well as my own as an individual could bring so much joy to the spectators, and it really made me want to give more. The smiles and cheers that greeted us everywhere we went was what powered me through the day, and has left me with many great memories. Thank you everyone for your kind support.
