It is changing through modernization, e.g. by introduction of electric guitars or foreign rhythm like reggae. In Kansai area, and in Osaka in particular, you can see people dancing in a circle to Kawachi Ondo in the summer night. It is danced not only by older people, but younger people dance in their radical ways. Seeing and participating in Kawachi Ondo is quite exciting.
