It is a uniquely Japanese evolution of the choreography (wotagei) used to support idols, elevated to a performance form. The high-speed performance, performed in the dark with glow sticks in hand, is truly artistic! In 2019, it was awarded the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Award for its high artistic quality. It is attracting more and more attention, with international competitions now being held!
