【公式/4K】踊り侍 18 POWER 東京よさこい アゼリア通り会場 Odorisamurai 2018 "POWER"/ Tokyo Yosakoi

Waseda University “Odori Samurai” – 2018 Performance “POWER” Performed on October 6 at the 19th Tokyo Yosakoi Festival in Ikebukuro. MC: “Olive”, “Ojou” Ha! Now, the Samurai shall begin. Never forget this sight. Never lose that love within you. Keep believing in the possibilities we hold. For this is the beginning… of the end. Your strength becomes ours. Our strength becomes yours. The answer we grasped by believing— now, let us show it to you here in Azalea. With every breath of life, burn your spirit, unleash the Samurai storm. Carrying only these naruko in hand, and the Waseda soul within our hearts. Believe in yourself. Believe in your comrades. Let’s go—forward, endlessly. Hold certainty in your heart, pride in your team. Even if you feel unsure, you are the hero. You are the lead. Samurai live for the festival—they burn with passion. People gather, people part, times may change, but the ideal light we look up to remains the same. Under the deep blue sky, bearing gold and crimson, Odori Samurai proudly takes the stage. Remember who you once were. Awaken the instincts that lie within. This long and rugged road— we’ve walked it, wounded yet moving forward. But we will regret nothing, for this path is one we chose ourselves. Not yet… not yet. Don’t stop here. Don’t stare only at the end. Look—how far we’ve come already. Someone once said, “It’s ridiculous.” To hell with such nonsense. We love this path we walked together— so let us continue forward. Laughing together, crying together, shoulder to shoulder, walking as one, at times clashing, at times being scolded— I hated you, and yet I loved you. I never knew feelings like these. I never saw a view like this before. There is one thing I must say: Thank you. Thank you. Your smiles and tears are the very source of my heart. Built, woven, connected, and bound— we, the 17th generation of Odori Samurai, are truly one of a kind. In this moment of dancing with our comrades, you are our strength—Ikebukuro. Students, attention! Odori Samurai is here! Pride on our backs, affection in our hearts, dancing with you in this youth— it’s fleeting, ephemeral, and full of possibility. Screaming like this—it’s ridiculous, isn’t it? Throwing ourselves into it—it’s ridiculous, isn’t it? Yet that ridiculous passion… is why I’m proud of you. Why I love you. Waseda! Waseda! We are happy! Waseda! Waseda! We are happy! Come, everyone—say it with us: Waseda! Waseda! We are happy! Mistakes in the past, times we ran away— those pasts shaped who we are today. So shout your overflowing feelings together with your comrades— WASEDA! WASEDA! WE ARE HAPPY! Odori Samurai 2018 – “POWER”
