BonODori Madness~


         Bon Odori~ Bon odori~ It's Bon Odori Festival again~  It's time to dance!
         I have attended a Bon odori Festival held in my University last weekends. It is a festival carried out in my university to introduce Japanese culture and food. Different from previous year, this year it was held at outdoor which they were different kinds of store and booth selling Japanese food, surrounding a small stage in the middle of the hall. Not only that, the interesting part was there are Cosplay performances during that night too~ Although i don't really know much or interested in cosplay, but  their costume and hair style sure will attract your attention~

Watch OUT with the sword!

         But the most exciting part during that night was the Bon Odori dance session! Although the crowd were shy in the beginning, but things get heated up when the night fall~ We danced around the stage and really do enjoy ourselves. I have been dancing for so many rounds with different kinds of people.It's a very fun thing to do if you can dance with your friends and a lot of people~ I'm totally in Bon Odori Madness that night! I danced again Again and AGAIN!!! It's just so fun that i couldn't stop!

I just like dancing!

         Despite all the fun, what is actually Bon Odori? Being asked by my friend who is studying in overseas, i take the initiative to search online. Look what i found~ Bon Odori is actually a dance that will be performed during the Bon Festival. And What is Bon Festival? This is the interesting part~ Bon festival is a festival held every summer for Japanese to welcome their ancestor's soul and hold a memorial service for the soul. And the origin or the story behind this festival is actually the same with HUNGRY GHOST FESTIVAL for Chinese! XD This means that while Chinese are being so afraid during the Hungry ghost festival, Japanese are actually celebrating it with dance and laughter~ What a big contrast for the same Story!


         Any way Bon Odori is a Great event for Friends to gather and have fun Together. Really enjoy it~
