ソーラン節 (Sōran Bushi) by Fuyumi Sakamoto, lead by Mililani Bon Dance Club at Honbushin Odori Festival

Sōran Bushi, a vibrant traditional Japanese fishing song, unites communities in joyful dance. Originally synchronizing fishermen's movements - setting sail, hauling nets, folding sails, and loading catch - this minyo now resonates with every step and gesture, echoing ocean energy: sweeping arm motions mimic net casting, clapping hands evoke pounding waves, stomping feet replicate hauling rhythms, and swaying bodies ride the waves. Join in the celebration, honoring ancestors through Sōran Bushi's enduring rhythms.
