🎵 Theme song
🎵 KOKUYOSA theme song “Kaede”
KOKUYOSA’s official theme song, “Kaede,” was created in 2024 by the Kochi Yosakoi Ambassador Kizuna International Team. An international team with dancers from more than 20 countries, Kizuna was formed by members who, having had their lives enriched through Yosakoi, wanted to give something back.
“Kaede” was born from their feelings for Canada — home to many of the members — and their wish to give shape to their love of Yosakoi.
