七夕 Tanabata

Tanabata is the Japanese Stars Festival that is celebrate on July 7.

This was in Galvão Bueno Street, it was decorated with origami and wish papers (peace, friendship, love, health and money)


Each person writes his/her wishes and puts it on a tree. Papers are full of colors and  a lot of wishes, trees look beautiful and also there are some sales in the street, most of them are Japanese food. I feel so happy, it is like a dream.

I saw a lot of Taiko presentations, the most that I like was this, with cute kids ^^ "Que bonitinhos"




Then there was a Japanese dance with the music of "Comemoração do Centenario da Imiração Japonesa" The arrangement of this song was made by Tadao Ebihara sensei. This song is great and the dance is performing by Mãe, Obaa-chan and their friends.






After this came a big dance and party with everybody, I loved some songs but I couldn't find them so far.




A show after the closing ceremony was anime band, it was cool. People of all the ages were at the concert, I was surprised, in all activities, there were people of all ages.

Since the afternoon, there was a DJ playing in the street. Wow a big party in the street, awesome!



And walking in the street you can find people doing break dance, in the metro station or like here.
