End of July is bon odori (meaning bon dance, as you might know) season in Japan. There are 2 bon odori sites near my house this year. No matter how many years have passed, how our life is advanced with technology, and how Japanese people are westernized, bon odori has been always the same. Same song, same music, same Japanese drums….Peple dance the same way and that’s why things I see there just remind me of my childhood. I feel it is a very Japanese-like event and when I find myself relaxed with some nostalgic feelings and memories, I am feeling myself very Japanese.

Whatever, video is worth a thousand words here. Take a look and you can feel what it’d be like there. Enjoy the image of Japanese summer. It’s too dark and barely visible?! I know that, but indeed it was taken place in the dark. That’s how it is.

What’s surprising me was that Doraemon Ondo was on at both sites. I thought it was only for kids and inside the TV! I remember the song from childhood.

Yakitori (grilled chicken with teriyaki sauce over) and beer from street vendors. How Japanese!
