In spite of it being mid-Autumn, we performed at the Yoshiwarajuku Shukuba Matsuri in near summer-like temperatures.
This was our second year to perform at this festival, and there definitely seemed to be more people out cheering us on. Thanks to such a great audience, our spirits were raised and we really got into the mood of the event!
This time we also gave a special freestyle ("circle dance") performance. There was clapping and smiling, so... that has to be a good sign, doesn't it? :-D At the end of the day, we all really enjoyed the festival, and I think the audiences did too.
Special thanks to Otaki-san's family for taking care of us and letting us use their home.
And let's not forget all the hard work Otaki-san herself put into organising the trip, a job well done!! by.M.O
