Music and dance
We would like to tell you about dance and music in Kumamoto. There is a lot of festival in Kumamoto for example, Hinokuni (Land of Fire) Festival, the great festival of fujisaki hachimangu shrine and so on. We will introduce about Hinokini Festival. Hinokuni Festival holds on August in Kumamoto city. Each group dance original dance fit to 'Otemoyan' music. It is original song. It has two patterns. One is slow temp; another is up temp like the samba. I like both of them.

Personality
We use 'Higo moccos' as a word that we suggest own personality. It means obstinate. Moreover, the people of Kumamoto prefecture are got the impression that they are coarse. And then, people who lived in Kumamoto defined that beauty is to hold on something with wiping the sweat off from their forehead. We think long history here influence them.
