Festival Report フェスティバル レポート 2007

☆Chinese hero Wang Hui can speak Osaka dialect☆

He speaks in a very fluent Japanese with lots of humour.
Maybe this is one of the reason of him being so popular in Japan.

He sometimes fail the stunt on purpose, and keeps the audience
in suspense.Thus, he gets a great applause from the audience.This
popularity is the result of performing for 30 years, since he was
12 years old.

We asked him "When do you feel glad?", and he said, "When the
audience is moved by my performance". He also add that "Each
year, the audience in Shizuoka has more and more high expectation,
so I must improve every year."

Check out his fantastic acrobatics!!

Koyo Yamamoto - Japan's Rep in the World Cup!

Please watch Koyo Yamamoto`s performance! He is the first
Japanese performer to appear in the World Cup competition in
three years.

Performing for 25 years, he gives a really good performance
as expected. Come on out and enjoy his pantomiming!

BAM! What's that sound?

The comical percussion trio BAM uses the international language of
sound in their performance. The three former drummers will make
you laugh with thier musical storytelling drums.
Don`t miss the BAM sound!

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!
