Don't just watch—join the circle! A primal Japanese trance awakened by live ohayashi (festival music). 

Uniting the crowd through the sounds of shamisen, taiko drums, and live vocals: this is "Itoshima Bon Odori Bu".

Profile

Born in the fall of 2022 in Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture, "Itoshima Bon Odori Bu" takes immense pride in their purely live ohayashi—crafted entirely without recorded audio, using only the shamisen, taiko, and raw vocals. Traditional masterpieces like "Tanko Bushi" and "Soma Bon Uta" are brought back to life with vibrant energy, passing down the true meaning of Bon Odori, its traditions, and the pure joy of festivals to the next generation.

Bon Odori is no fun if you're just watching.
It makes your blood pump and your flesh dance—this is Japan's primal trance.
You don't need to know the steps, nor do you need to perform highbrow dances.
Just surrender yourself to the Japanese beats we strike, transcend nationalities and generations, and come on! Let's all form a circle and dance the night away!
