The children are dancing Awa Odori: The Dance of the Fools. Awa Odori is a traditional dance festival originating in Tokushima City in 1586, when Lord Hachisuka Iemasa of Awa, the former name of Tokushima prefecture, hosted a celebration of the opening of Tokushima Castle.
They also sing the dance festival song, Awa Yoshikono. Here's the lyrics :
They also sing the dance festival song, Awa Yoshikono. Here's the lyrics :
踊る阿呆に | Odoru ahou ni | The dancers are fools |
見る阿呆 | Miru ahou | The watchers are fools |
同じ阿呆なら | Onaji ahou nara | Both are fools alike so |
踊らな損、損 | Odorana son, son | Why not dance? |
The dancers also chant hayashi kotoba call and response patterns such as "Yattosa, yattosa", "Hayaccha yaccha", "Erai yaccha, erai yaccha", and "Yoi, yoi, yoi, yoi" when they dance through the city street.
