The Variety Show Returns
Nishiokoppe Village’s variety show was held for the first time in five years.
A huge, huge, huge success!!!!

Why it stopped
They say there were many reasons: the infectious disease, budget cuts, a shortage of performers… and more.

Thanks to a lot of cooperation, they managed to overcome those obstacles
and held the event safely.

The show opened with the revival of Uenshiri Daiko, returning after 20 years.

Though their performance lasted only five minutes,
it was full of power and perfectly suited to open the event.

There were many other acts covering a wide range of genres, from children to adults,
and seeing friends and acquaintances happily take the stage
warmed everyone’s hearts.

Some intense performances even made little children cry!

In the second half, the karaoke section livened things up.
You could get lost in beautiful voices,
or join in with call-and-response and enjoy it together.

The finale closed with everyone in the venue singing the village festival song together and a lucky-money toss.

Thanks to everyone who came, everyone who performed, and everyone who supported us from afar—
we’re grateful to you all. Thank you very much!
