The performances have started after dinner.
Chinese students are performing on the stage.
Tsukuba High School was the first school to give a performance. Tsukuba has participated for the AEON 1% Club since its start which was 10 years ago and every year they perform Yosakoi Dance. Junten students have their own Yosakoi, but Tsukuba has been doing this since its start. Toyo University Ushiku has chosen a song that Junten was going to perform! In the end, Junten chose a different song, so each school had a unique and original performance.
Junten was the last to perform. They sung “Zen Zen Zensei” from “Kimino Nawa”. The song is well known in China so all the students sung the song together. Ms.Oh from Junten was a great dance and she dance to the song.
Mr.Amano and Mr.Kimura sung and Mr.Egawa played the guitar.
Ms.Higuma played the cralinet and Ms.Takashina played the flute.
Finally the students from Beijing 20 Junior-Senior High School read a thank you letter and the group gather to take a group photo.
