I don't understand the reason for doing a ponyo ondo. But after spending few months to get that song out of my head, now that its back again, it kinda suck.

I didn't take much pic or video for the bon odori session. Just some random pictures. As usual i'm too excited to enjoy the dance parts and i can't be bothered about anything else. Here's how big the crowd is when we're doing ponyo.

I love Natsu Matsuri!
