Asakusa Samba Carnival 2019 - Samba Dancing in Tokyo

[@farrael004]

As a Brazilian, this is really moving. I am deeply touched by the care and effort these people had to make all of this a reality. They nailed the carnaval spirit, which is by far the most important and precious part. I couldn't tell if all songs were in Portuguese or if they had some parts or entire sections in Japanese, but it would make me very happy if they were entirely in Japanese since the point of the song is to tell the story of the parade. It would probably be more enjoyable for all watching if it was in their own language. Still, this was amazing!

Some of them are actually Japanese Brazilians who migrated to japan it’s crazy but in Japan they’re seen as Brazilian rather than Japanese

1. Why they have silly skimpy portuguese native speaking brazilian country clothes and stuff from brazil, but not American parade clothes from USA, however not skimpy so it's as decent as kimonos, in Asakusa there should be an American carnival there right? 2. Or is it just American parade no American carnival? 3. I'm a Japanese Canadian from Canada, but I expect there is no samba brazillion carnival in Japan at all, I didn't even know it started in 1981 the year my brother was 1, but I hope the samba carnival in Asakusa for only 42 years gets defunct like the kids TV channels always sadly get I more wish it didn't, but instead a samba carnival will never have it in Asakusa anymore before the 50th year, but switched to something American celebration from an English speaking country as coincidently Japanese always have learn and speak English, they also have American style houses, maybe having an Americatown right? 4. Why they need a brazilian carnival, why not this be in portugal or are there any like exactly like this in the tropical Asian countries as Tokyo is not, but samba carnival like this in thailand, malaysia, taiwan, macau or southern tropical china anywhere here too started in 1981? 5. One person said envy his own country celebration didn't have that in Asakusa, but annoyingly didn't mention the country the person is from an article I've read, but can't find to copy it to paste here, does Asakusa has an colourful American flavor carnival or parade at all celebrated annually too? Also the samba brazilian music is annoying which don't fit to be in Asakusa as it doesn't feel right and happy, it is not too rhythmic, because it is not from an English speaking country, I think American parade music be rhythmic be better for those 3,000 performers from all over Japan so I hope they change brazilian thing into an American thing, but maybe Canadian thing as well! Enough is enough, no more samba in Asakusa, just North American parades/carnivals in Asakusa soon and I hope anyone felt the same way as me wants our own country's celebration in Asakusa instead!

Control your hatred, I know you can. And know one thing, you can't impose anything on anyone, if there are people dancing and jumping at carnival, it's because there are people to watch. Just control your hatred and you'll be happier.

[@Kawayoporu]

@@ricardomeira2370 Stop thinking I was hatered, I just think it was still silly to me to see Japanese dance to this, because that was not their culture! You American guy right?

[@Thumtwiddler]

The Japanese are an ...um interesting and inventive people! (Tries desperately not to say weird)

[@lcg3092]

The japanese are not to blame for this weirdness this time

[@justinnunez1892]

They’re Brazilians
