Jak Japan Matsuri 2012

Tidak seperti tahun lalu,gw sama sekali ga tau apa tema Jak-Japn matsuri tahun ini. Bintang tamu dari Jepang-nya pun ga begitu menarik, buat gw sih ga menarik. Tahun 2009, ada Honoo O Doiko yang gw suka banget, 3 cewek luar biasa. Tahun lalu ada Nakamura yang seru banget. Tahun ini mereka ngedatengin May J, host acara di Jepang yang berjudul J-Melo. Mereka juga mengundang JKT48. sejujurnya…mereka itu bukan alasan utama gw datang ke JJM…selain ketemu teman-teman, alasan utama gw adalah mau Bon Odori-an :)

Mulai dari sini…isi post ini banyakan photonya daripada tulisan ;)

Monas tampak dari dalam venue

Yosakoi Dance. Gw ga nonton tarian ini, cume moto aja karena dah bosan liat mereka…hehehe maaf ya, abis tiap ada acara Jejepangan pasti ada mereka.


A short calligraphy course. Kursus singkat atau sekedar menulis sesuatu dengan kaya kaligrafi jepang yang susah banget. Dulu gw pernah ikut kursus 2 bulan-an…gyaaa susah amat!!

Cuma 3 orang cosplayer ini yang menarik perhatian gw di JJM.

Panggung buat Bon Odori

May J

Setelah May J, ada Jakarta KEION. Mereka nyanyiin lagu2 AKB48, Campuran Kasmaran dan Kokoro no Tomo….namun lagu yang bisa bikin gw loncat-loncat dan nyanyi bareng adalah Ready Steady go-nya Laruku ;)

Omikoshi lewat saat Jakarta KEION masih di atas panggung. Yang aga rese, kalo menurut gw, adalah teriakan-teriakan norak “sahur…sahur...” plus orang-orang yang ngomel mulu selama Omikoshi di depan panggung. Sepertinya mereka orang2 yang ga pernah datang ke Matsuri sebelumnya *sigh*

Setelah itu ada penampilan yang ditunggu oleh banyak co…atau lebih tepatnya disebut para fanboys…Penampilan JKT48 ternyata meriah banget…bukan JKT-nya yang meriah tapi para fanboys itu!! Hehehe gw malah asik ngerekamin aksi mereka.

Mereka punya yel-yel yang gw ga tau apa itu yang mereka teriakin, tapi tetap aja seru. Kompak abis tuh para co!! Liatin mereka malah lebih asik drpd liatin JKT48!

Gw ga nunggu sampai JKT48 selesai karena langsung menuju area Bon Odori. Hehehe siap-siap flash mob tarian traditional Jepang ;)

Ini video dari tahun lalu (bukan punya gw). Pengennya sih ngeupload video sendiri tapi gw terlalu asik bon odoria-an jadi ga sempet rekam-merekam.

Before Bon Odori started, we had few minutes of Hanabi (fireworks).

Hari minggu lalu benar-benar melelahkan tapi juga menyenangkan :)

    Seems like you had a great time at this festival, Novia :) I am quite envious of you! Wish we’d have big events like that as well (and we should! Because the historical relationship between The Netherlands and Japan is also problematic)!

      I always had great time on Jak-Japan matsuri…I enjoyed the food, hanging out with my friends and of course dancing the Bon Odori.

      As you said ‘wish’, is that mean there is no Japan festival in Netherlands? I think someone linked me a taiko performance in Dutch once…and taiko is usually played in festivals…or maybe I wrongly remember, maybe it wasn’t in Dutch.

        I honestly don’t know. Perhaps there are smaller festivals? There is a Japanese museum in the city I work in (Leiden). I really have to visit one of these days, they also occasionally organise Japanese events.

    I love Ready, Steady, Go. I caught it on Youtube a while back.

    Oops. Posted my comment too fast.

    Bon Odori looks fun. That was quite the crowd. Glad you had fun.

      Bon Odori is the best part of Japanese Matsuri (festival) in my opinion. I love dancing together with people like that and there is a part where we have to hold the hands of people next to us (both left and right) and then run forward and backward together while still holding hand…that part for me is a nice way to have fun with people we never met before.

      Thank you Audrey…it was a blast :)

    That was interesting to hear about the Japanese festival. You seemed to have fun!

    This looks like so much fund and so colorful.
    I can’t remember any night pictures from last year.

    I love these photos and would love to visit there! There seems to be a real sense of community :)

Would love to read what you think about this post :)
