On Friday and Saturday night, the Ryukyu Bon Dance group led the Okinawan portion of the program at the Mililani Hongwanji Obon. Young and old enjoyed participating in a variety of lively Okinawan folk songs that concluded with two Uchina Pop numbers by the Rinken Band: “Jin Tu Bi Do” and “Shichi Gwachi Eisa.” Hope to see you next year!
