This week, Jakarta (Indonesia) will have a big Japanese festival event named Ennichisai that is held annually. Founded by Daisei Takeya and Emi Takeya (have lived in Indonesia for 25 years) and also 3 friends, this year would be the 7th. Ennichisai is a kind of ‘Japan’s Shopping Distric Festival’ that offers Japanese culinaries, traditional culture and also pop culture. Nowadays, it has been one of the official events in South Jakarta (that has been supported by governor since 2012) and known being visited by over than 200.000 visitors per year.
Ennichisai is a formerly present from Japanese expats for
Indonesian people that has treated them well. Japanese people are known as people
that love and willing to join festivals and they just want to bring the
happiness as they are to Indonesian people that love Japanese stuffs and hope that
this can make relation of these countries tighter.
Miracle-The Power of Love becomes the theme of Ennichisai
2016. There will be 3 giant love boards which are placed in 3 areas in Little
Tokyo Blok M. Visitors could write love messages to the people they love and
stick it on board .Then, by paying donation fee Rp 10.000, you may get 1 of 4
different colors bracelet. Something funny is pink bracelet that is just for
single person. Maybe some of visitors could get relationship after this event ends. We
hope so. Hahaha....... Still, Ennichisai is not held for profit. Part of the love
board profits will be donated to Kumamoto prefecture citizens whom faced 6,2SR
earthquake that happened on 2016,April 14.
As usual, there will be traditional stage (M stage) and pop
culture stage (P stage).
In order to introduce Japanese traditional culture to
Indonesian citizens, this year Ennichisai has performance of Hiraoki Kato and
street performance (mikoshi, wadaiko, eisa, shamisen, koto, yosakoi contest,
nihon buyou, oiran dochu and shishimai). Mikoshi parade is still the most
crowded and famous from year to year. There will be thousand of people watching
this performance as they filled almost every inch of Little Tokyo area. Human
barricade has to try as hard as possible
so there will be a way for Mikoshi parade.
The second stage is a huge stage for pop culture stage.
Collaborate with Clas:H, Ennichisai 2016 has Clas:H Single Cosplay Competition,
Indonesia Cosplay Grand Prix (ICGP), World Karaoke Grand Prix for Indonesian
region and also performances from famous Japanese artists (SAGA, Loverin
Tamburin, Love Android, Musumen, Faint Star, REDSHiFT, Yumi and Intan Akimoto
and also jazz pianist Rei Narita.
Every year, this Japanese event causes huge crowd and lot of
happiness for visitors. To reach this location, you just need to get off on
Blok M Transjakarta bus shelter and take a few walk. You’ll meet P Stage first and the crowd will finally lead you to the Little Tokyo. Oh, yeah! Please
trash your rubbish in trash can even you will always see Jakarta Osoji Club
with their green T-Shirt voluntarily collecting rubbish in this area.
