The Green Man

All dressed green - even his scooter! - the practical joke-loving
The Green Man is bringing havoc to the streets of Shizuoka.
Grabbing an innocnet bystander in green, he gives her a big hug.
But, he sees green when meeting the green jacketed volunteers.

Don't forget to ask him what his favorite color is before he scoots
off back to Spain!

flair bartending! Bronx Cheer

Bronx Cheer

Have you ever heard "flair bartending"? It's a rhythmical performance
using the bottle of the cocktail.

First, he performs a "Hand Balance". Which means he juggles the
bottle and then he puts it on the backside of his hand. Next, he puts
the bottle into the shaker which is called "Cup In". Finally, the
cocktail will be served to the audience.

He has 15 years of career as a bartender and 3 years of career in
flair bartending. He will be participating in the Japan cup of flair
bartending on the 4th of November.

He started this performance because he was influenced by the
movie "Cocktail". He usuallly trains after his work. These days he
trains all the time if possible. You can see his performance in
Bronx Cheer in Ryogae-cho in Shizuoka. Why don't you go their
and enjoy his cocktail!

Closest to the First Prize!?　N'Dux Malax

N'Dux Malax, the Ghana smiley three guys, have came to Shizuoka
for the first time. They are from the same area in Ghana and have
been together training for the circus since they were very young.

The show started with upbeat African music and dance. The beat
wouldn't stop and, in fact, it heated up more and more. With their
well trained flexible bodies, unbelievable performances came to the
scene one after another, like a human tower, various expressions
on their faces, and even putting a body on fire!

Actually, William, the person put the fire on his body says the taste
of fire is quite delicious. You see the show, I am sure you will be
completely blown over! This is the group will get the first prize!?
