Yosakoi is

Yosakoi is madness.

Yosakoi is forward motion.

Yosakoi is colour and music and light.

Yosakoi is a thing with a life of its own: a synergetic, Frankensteinian abomination of the fishing-inspired dance that birthed it. Yosakoi is the void that was filled by the surface-shy, but deep-down-explosive Japanese soul. Yosakoi is one voice expressing itself in a multitude of languages and dialects and idioms. Yosakoi is a rough framework for imaginations that express themselves best in rhythm. Yosakoi is the Will-To-Performance of a people.

Yosakoi is your visual definition for “genki.”

Yosakoi is energy uninhibited.

Yosakoi is fire.
