The song for in this video is YOSAKOI☆BEAT. The place they dance is at Obiyachō (帯屋町).
Yosakoi (よさこい) is a style of dance that originated in Kochi Japan. Each choreography is unique and performed by large dancer teams of men and women of various ages.
Colorful costumes, face paint, and small wooden clappers are used by Yosakoi teams.
There were 200 teams and about 20.000 dancers this year in the 5 day Kochi festival. Some teams perform more than twenty times at various events and places. Endurance is as important as skill.
There was a typhoon the first day so they had to use large covered shopping malls for some dance parades.
