Australia Day 2023 Respect Country Parade

 Australia Day Respect Country Parade 2023

Australia Day – Respect Country Parade on 26th of January, 2023

AJA members and friends participated in the Respect Country Parade on Australia Day Thursday, 26th of January.

AJAでは、１月２６日（木）オーストラリアデーの日に、リスペクト・カントリー・パレードに参加しました。

This year, the Australia Day Event organiser decided the number of parade participants for each community group could be up to 20 and AJA team had 15 people.

今年から、各団体からのパレード参加者の数が２０人までと制限されて、AJAでは１５人が参加しました。

Our team walked accompanied by the Japanese folk music called ♪Hanagasa Ondo♪ and we did a very simple dance.

花笠音頭の音楽に合わせて、超シンプルな動きを入れながら歩きました。

AJA would like to thank to all those participants for participating in the parade. I am glad that everyone was saying it was so much fun and enjoyed it very much.

参加してくださった皆さん、お疲れさまでした。でも、皆さんとっても楽しかったと言ってもらえたので、嬉しいです(^^♪
