Odore Osaka So Odori

[Machine Translation] Gakunoya Kogiku, who has been popular not only at summer yagura but also at Bon Odori festivals all year round, finally makes her CD debut! The Kawachi Ondo and Eshu Ondo dancers of Tsukinoie Kogiku are popular not only in their home city of Daito City, but also in the entire Kawachi area. The dainty ondo princess, Kogiku Tsukinoie, is a member of the Tsukinoie Kogiku group. She has been highly acclaimed in many fields as the first of a new generation of Eshu Ondo dancers, and there have been many calls for a recording of her work. This debut will be a wonderful summer bonus for those fans. The song is "Odore Osaka So Odori" (Dance Osaka So Odori), which is in support of the Osaka So Odori Bon Dance event, which she herself participated in for the first time last year. Of course, it is a newly written song. It depicts the Bon Odori scenery of Osaka in summer from an innovative perspective, and is stylishly prepared with the lively Tsukinoie rhythm. Izutsuya Koishimaru, the producer of "Osaka So Odori" appears in the middle part of the song and adds to the excitement. The long version was sound-processed in Kingston, Jamaica, by the masterful Stephen Stanley. This is probably the first time in history that an ondo has been mixed overseas. Not only is it fun to listen to and dance to, but it is a world-class finish that gives everyone a strong sense of the new possibilities of Ondo! A new era, a new Ondo is born!
