【元氣祭大賞】十人十彩 | 原宿表参道元氣祭 スーパーよさこい | 2024年

[Team Introduction] "Jūnintoiro" is a Yosakoi team based in Kochi City. The team was formed with the support and sponsorship of "Gokokai Nagahama Hospital." The team's motto is "Hundred Days of Training, One Moment of Success," reflecting their dedication to daily practice and their pursuit of a moment of brilliance. Jūnintoiro's performances are characterized by the graceful dances of women wearing traditional sugegasa hats and the powerful movements of the men, all executed in perfect unison to lavish music. Their grand and poignant performances leave a lasting impact on the audience, which explains their large and enthusiastic fanbase. The team is also known as a regular contender for the Yosakoi Taishō award. Last year, the team introduced black costumes for the first time, presenting a fresh image. This year, they continue to garner much anticipation as they dynamically and dramatically express contrasts like "stillness and motion" and "the elegance of men and women." Choreography is handled by Saki Yamamoto, and the music is composed by YUSUKE. A particular highlight is the lead dancer holding a lantern, who gained attention after being dubbed the "Joan of Arc of Jūnintoiro" by Yama-chan from the comedy duo Nankai Candies. [Yosakoi Festival] The Yosakoi Festival is a vibrant event held annually from August 9th to 12th in Kochi City, Kochi Prefecture. First established in 1954, the festival was created to revitalize the local economy and boost the spirits of the community. During the festival, about 190 teams and 20,000 dancers participate, performing energetic dances with wooden clappers called naruko. Each team competes with its own unique costumes, music, and choreography, performing at 17 different venues across Kochi City. The festival includes a pre-event on August 9th and a national competition and post-festival celebration on August 12th, immersing the entire city in a festive atmosphere. Due to its popularity, the Yosakoi Festival has spread nationwide, with many regions hosting their own versions, such as the "YOSAKOI Soran Festival." It has also expanded internationally to countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, France, South Korea, and Taiwan, where the Yosakoi style merges with local cultures, creating unique interpretations of the tradition. The Yosakoi Festival plays a significant role in regional revitalization and international cultural exchange.
