Go Toronto Go!: Japanese festival in Toronto...Japanese Matsuri

Dundas square was where Toronto's first ever matsuri was held, and it was really awesome! I risked taking a good heating from the sun!

First off I apologize for my video making and website designing incompetence. Heck, I might as well also apologize for my tardiness because it took me, like forever to post this.

So without further ado I bring you the first video. The group, Raging Asian, is made up entirely of Asian women. Throughout the festival the organizers had been explaining Japanese culture. So in that video they were playing the taiko which officially opens the festival,no, the matsuri.

Snap! People kept getting in my way but I didn't want to move around and get in someone else's way, so...yea. Anyways did you notice their stance and movements? Wasn't it beautiful. I especially liked the part in the first one, where the drummers switched sides. They didn't just switch they gracefully switched sides! Cool! >u<

Next up I bring you the performance that I absolutely loved. For those of you who have attended the matsuri, don't get your knickers in a twist because I'm not showing the correct order of events that day.
I didn't just write that because I wanted to say 'knickers in a twist.'
Ok.... that was partly the reason ... 99% the reason.

The next video is from a group known as Sakura mai and they....just watch the video if you haven't. It was funny when a lot of people started yelling Niisan!(older brother) I started to think that not all of the people who called out were his little siblings. Probably just one, or none.

Okay, I know this next video is really long but it was just as good, maybe better as far as my poor videos go. I place this in second place out of all those events. You get to see interesting yukatta's. If you haven't watched it, then you should. If you don't want to then, just as fine. Who's with me when I say that the eccentric look rocked?
