Excellent photograph capturing happy and vibrant mood of the participants performing yosakoi folk dance by KOJI SASAHARA.

Compared to other Japanese festivals, I find Yosakoi to be loud and lacking the nuance found in more traditional gatherings...

Is it the Can Can? Should the Olympic Committee learn it?

Nice. We have a Yosakoi group in Toronto and they performed at a recent downtown festival event. Mostly Japanese but some Canadians get involved as well.
