The staff from each workplace and Ryutopia members were a diverse group of people who worked hard every night practicing and creating things, from directing to making large and small props.<\/p>\n<p>Although the actual skit lasts only 1 minute 30 seconds, its short duration makes it a challenging one. Sorachi is a fiercely competitive region in the entire prefecture, with all 27 cities, towns, and villages participating. It can be considered an Olympic Games, with towns and cities with populations ranging from 3,000 to 100,000. The goal is to condense the town&#039;s pride into 1 minute 30 seconds, create an impact, and inspire the audience. To achieve this, there is no room for error for the performers or the people behind the scenes. It&#039;s a constant state of tension, and the horse and rider must work in perfect unison, creating a work of art. The perfect execution on the day is a victory achieved thanks to the efforts of the staff and the cheers of the local community. They won the Sorachi tournament three times in a row, becoming three-time champions and achieving a remarkable feat in the prefectural tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf April 18, 1987, Fukagawa Civic Hall<br \/>\n\u30fbHometown Pride: Himawari Land Hokuryu<br \/>\n\u30fbSinging Proud: Takada Mihoko<br \/>\nOctober 20th, NHK Sapporo Broadcasting Station (Central Hokkaido Tournament)<br \/>\n\u30fbSinging Proud: Hideki Matsuura, Yasuko Hasegawa, Mihoko Takada<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf October 2, 1988, Takikawa Cultural Center<br \/>\n\u30fbHometown Pride: A dragon dances in the sunflower village<br \/>\n\u30fbSinging Proud: Kitakiyo Hirokuni<br \/>\nNovember 5th, Sapporo Welfare Pension Hall (All-Hokkaido Tournament)<br \/>\n\u30fbSinging Proud: Naoko Takada and Hirokuni Kitakiyo<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf October 8, 1989, Iwamizawa Civic Hall<br \/>\n\u30fbHometown pride: Title unknown<br \/>\n\u30fbSinging Proud: Osamu Sunagawa<br \/>\nNovember 2nd, Sapporo Welfare Pension Hall (All-Hokkaido Tournament)<br \/>\n\u30fbSinging Proud: Nobuyoshi Teragaki, Osamu Sunagawa<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf October 21, 1990, Takikawa City Cultural Center<br \/>\n\u30fbHometown pride: The home of love told through sunflowers<br \/>\n\u30fbSinging Proud: Kisako Hanawa<br \/>\nNovember 9th, Sapporo Welfare Pension Hall (All-Hokkaido Tournament)<br \/>\n\u30fbSinging Proud: Kisako Hanawa<\/p>\n<h4>\u3000<\/h4>\n<div class=\"img-move\">\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/45367\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/23f94a00d150b54e0e60afc47e7b6cab.png\" alt=\"Previous page\" width=\"50\" height=\"107\" class=\"size-full\" \/><\/a>\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/45395\/\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2024-06-02-12.15.43.png\" alt=\"Back to Table of Contents\" width=\"50\" height=\"139\" class=\"size-full\" \/><\/a>\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/45343\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/b797ed5d7766fca5762158e81a25a520.png\" alt=\"Next page\" width=\"50\" height=\"101\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45705\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u89b3\u5149\u5354\u4f1a50\u5e74\u306e\u6b74\u53f2\u30fb\uff11\uff19\uff18\uff10\u5e74\u4ee3\uff1a\u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30d5\u30ed\u30f3\u30c6\u30a3\u30a2\u30fb\u30d5\u30a7\u30b9\u30c6\u30a3\u30d0\u30eb \u30cb\u30e5\u30fc\u30d5\u30ed\u30f3\u30c6\u30a3\u30a2\u30fb\u30d5\u30a7\u30b9\u30c6\u30a3\u30d0\u30eb \u662d\u548c62\u5e74\u304b\u3089\u5317\u6d77\u9053\u306e\u6d3b\u6027\u5316\u3092\u56f3\u308d\u3046\u3068\u3001NHK\u5317\u6d77\u9053\u304c\u300c\u5e02\u753a\u6751\u5bfe\u6297\u3075\u308b\u3055\u3068\u81ea\u6162\u30fb\u6b4c\u81ea\u6162\u300d\u304c\u4f01 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48196,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47587","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-50th_anniversary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47587","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47587"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47587\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47587"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47587"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/portal.hokuryu.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47587"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
