Sōran Bushi

Sōran Bushi

So-ran Bushi (ソーラン節) is one of the most famous traditional songs (min'yō) in Japan. It was originated by the fishermen of Hokkaidō, the north part of Japan.

So-ran Bushi accompanies the bon dance in many parts of Japan, and it has its own dancing styles that date back generations.

Recently, however, the So-ran dance was reimagined by a high school teacher leading his students. Under this direction, it gained a more modern, faster beat, and it was reinterpreted for more a more modern setting. Students perform "Rock n' Soran Bushi" on their sports day. The latest Soran Bushi dance interpretation has more dynamic choreography and more modernized rhythm than its older counterpart.
