So-ran Dance Team
What is So-ran?
So-ran Bushi (ソーラン節) is one of the most famous traditional songs (Min'yo) in Japan. It is a Japanese sea shanty that is said to have been first sung by the fisahermen of Hokkaido, northern Japan. So-ran Bushi accompanies the bon-dance in many parts of Japan, and it has its own dancing styles that date back generations. The dance moves depict fishermen dragging nets, pulling ropes and carrying luggage over their shoulders. (reference from Wikipedia) |
