WOW Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO Yuji Takahashi, hereinafter "WOW") announced "BAKERU," an experiential installation work themed on Tohoku's traditional performing arts, in 2017. Starting the following year in 2018, they launched "BAKERU School," collaborating with Tateito Yokoto LLC, a collaborator of "BAKERU," and local performing arts groups, providing children nationwide with opportunities to enjoy and learn about traditional performing arts. In fiscal year 2025, "BAKERU School" will tour elementary schools in Hokkaido for the first time, in addition to the Tohoku region. In the Neko settlement of Ani Town, Akita Prefecture, they encountered "Neko Ban-gaku," and in Biratori Town, Hokkaido, they encountered "Biratori Ainu Ancient Dance." Ainu culture in Hokkaido is said to have had a significant influence on Tohoku's culture as well. What do the performing arts of these two different regions have in common? At the initiative of Tateito Yokoto LLC, and with the cooperation of both regions, an exchange of traditional performing arts was realized. WOW captured the thoughts and appearances of the people who continue to preserve traditional performing arts in each region, as well as their commonalities, in a documentary film. Documentary Film "Dancing, Singing, Connecting" Through their encounters with people who continue to preserve traditional songs and dances passed down in their regions, WOW has touched upon the meaning of cultural inheritance and the various sentiments behind it. It is believed that the movements and costumes of performing arts each contain meaning and wishes, and that people have felt a connection with gods and spirits through dance. The reason these have been passed down to the present day is because of the hearts of the people who served as intermediaries; this became an opportunity to realize anew, through the performing arts and the lives of people in two regions, the importance of those hearts. Dancing is fun. Sharing the joy of becoming on
