On September 8th, the mid-autumn month in Tsuruta-cho, Aomori Prefecture, the Tsuruga Hagerukai held the Mid-Autumn Yutage (Utage).

The group was formed in 1989 with volunteers of thin hair gathering with the motto of "laughing away thin hair with humor and humor". We hold a regular autumn meeting every day on the day of the Mid-Autumn moon, and enjoy the "Meigetsu" of Tsuruta. Spectators gathered from inside and outside the town again this year.

The main event of the regular meeting is the "sucker tug of war" competition. If you stick a suction cup with a string on your forehead, make an inquiry, and remove the suction cup first, you will lose. 12 members participated in the tournament battle this year. It was a turbulent development, and Shota Odagiri (30), who had just joined the tournament for the first time, won the tournament. "I was aiming to win, but I never expected to win," he said. "I want to continue to win as long as I can," he said with enthusiasm for consecutive wins.

Mr. Yu Koseki, the secretary-general of the association, is pleased that the future of the party is bright with the appearance of a large newcomer. Although the youth club was launched last year and the average age of members has fallen sharply, I have been worried about the number of members not increasing. "It was taken up by the media, and it triggered the generation change," he said.

Members are being recruited at any time. To enroll, you will need to be screened as "bright people" or "promising people".
