YOSAKOIソーラン回顧、２０１６年（その１）江別まっことえぇ&北海道情報大学、美勝女隊：小池百合子が都知事に選ばれた２０１６年。その東京都では、築地から移転することとなった豊洲市場の盛土問題などが浮上した年でした。画像は、その７年前のYOSAKOIソーラン祭りでの、江別まっことえぇ&北海道情報大学、及び、遥々福岡県からやって来た美勝女隊の演舞の模様。（YOSAKOI-Soran in memories, 2016[Part 1]: In the year 2016, current governor of Tokyo Koike Yuriko was elected for her first term. The Tokyo Metropolitan government which the newly elected governor began to head was afflicted with some problems over the newly opened fishery market in Toyosu, which took the place of the old market in Tsukiji. The problem that attracted media attention most was alleged insufficient remedial measure against the chemically contaminated soil of the new market premises. Posted here are some snap shots of two teams that performed in the festival in that year. They are EBETSU MAKKOTO E-e & Hokkaido Information University, which is from the city of Ebetsu located in the outskirt of Sapporo, and BISHOUJO-TAI from Fukuoka in the northern part of Japan's southernmost island of Kyushu. [*Notes: MAKKOTO E-e means "truly good" in the dialect of Kochi, where the people in the locality initiated the original YOSAKOI festival seven decades ago. This phrase is always included in the music this team dances to. The transcription of BISHOUJO-TAI, which most native Japanese speakers are likely to write as 美少女隊 when they hear it, is 美勝女隊 as the name of this particular team. The first one means "beautiful-girl unit," whereas the second,in which the second symbol is replaced with 勝, means "unit of beautiful and victorious girls."])

札幌駅南口会場にて。
提灯が目を惹きます。
最後に提灯の色が変わります。
美勝女隊
三越前会場ではないかと思います。
結構衣装とメークが華やかです。
相撲をイメージした衣装や横断幕が目立ちました。
この二年前の2014年にYOSAKOI佐世保祭りに行った際に見て、印象に残っていたので、
注目していました。
