Hello everyone, this is the Domingo editorial team! In this article, we would like to share with you our after report on the "Hokkaido Dokodemo Bon Dance with Domingo" held from 17:00 on August 8 (Sat) to 22:00 on August 16 (Sun)! We hope you enjoy the full report of the "Bon Dance with consideration for social distance," which was implemented only now that it is impossible to gather in large groups!

What is "Hokkaido Dokodemo Bon Dance with Domingo"?

In a nutshell, "Hokkaido Dokodemo Bon Dancing with Domingo" is a "social distance Bon dance" unique to the With Corona era. It was a groundbreaking project that allowed people to view Bon dance music and videos at the same time from their smartphones or PCs as long as they had an Internet connection, and to perform Bon dance at the same time with their remote partners anytime, anywhere. The music played was "Kodomo Bon Odori Uta," the well-known local ondo (children's Bon dance song) with the familiar "Shanko Shanko♪," a "Hatsune Miku" version specially created for this project. A video of " Rabbit Yukine," " Snow Miku," and the Bon Dancer staff dancing together was also produced to make it easier for first-time dancers to dance. Incidentally, the video was shot at the " Hokkaido Gurutto Theater, " and some of the film crew couldn't help but start dancing along to the music they have been familiar with since childhood. ...... Let's take a look at how everyone enjoyed the event!

Real events were held on a smaller scale

There was also a case where a small-scale real event was held using "Hokkaido Dokodemo Bon Odori with Domingo" with infection control measures in place! The event was held at the " Genius Loki Traveled " guesthouse in Ebetsu City. This is a new guesthouse that just opened this summer in the "Oama Ginza Shopping Street," which is loved by many people for its fusion of old and new. The Bon Odori dance was held on the first floor of the guesthouse, an open space where local residents and travelers could gather. On the day of the event, a PC and a projector were used to enjoy the Bon Odori on a large screen. Whenwas scheduled to start, children and their parents living in the neighborhood were......! As soon as the first one started dancing, more and more ...... children and adults enjoyed Bon Odori together while watching the video of Snow Miku and Rabbit Yukine dancing. The girl who should have been hesitant and embarrassed to be the first one to leave became so happy to dance that she didn't want to leave. The girl who started dancing because she couldn't get enough of just watching, but ended up wanting to keep dancing so much that she didn't want to leave. A boy who danced happily and energetically with a smile on his face to the end, even though he said it was for sweets. And the adults who danced with confidence and enjoyment as they repeatedly ...... tapped into their memories of their childhood. It was a very enjoyable event, with all the scenes reminiscent of the Bon Odori dance held every year. Thank you so much to everyone who enjoyed the event and thank you for your participation! And to the staff of "Genius Loki Traveled," thank you for your cooperation in organizing the event! ▼ For
