2020 Yosakoide Support Project Executive Committee
Looking towards the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, let’s use “Yosakoi” to pray for and inspire the best performances by the athletes
2021.07.01
No Olympic Games has been held during a pandemic such as the one affecting this year’s Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. Through our performance of the traditional Japanese dance "Yosakoi", we offer our full support to the Games at this difficult time. By enhancing the spirit of the world's largest sports festival, we pray for peace and harmony among its people. And, through performance of "Yosakoi", we hope to inspire the athletes to perform at their peak.
Please take this opportunity to search the internet for "Yosakoi" in order to find out more about the event and, if you like, also join with other representatives of the media to dance. And, after the Games, we would be grateful if you could report that "Yosakoi" was one of the reasons for the success of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
