On August 4, Goshogawara Tachineputa was held in Goshogawara, Aomori, for the first time in three years.

The festival is centered around three large Tachineputa floats, each about 23 meters high and weighing about 19 tons. This year's event was held for the first time in three years due to the effects of the new coronavirus, but measures against infectious diseases were taken, such as shortening the operation course and asking people to refrain from cheering during the viewing.

The large tachineputa trains are replaced in the order of their three years of operation, and each year a new one is produced over the course of one year. This year's new work is "For a while". Known as one of Kabuki Juhachiban, the performance was canceled last year, but it was produced last year. It depicts a scene of uncovering wrongdoing and making an appearance.

At the head of the service is Tachineputa, which is based on the popular game series "Momotaro Dentetsu" that has been running for over 30 years. It was created to commemorate the latest work released in 2020, and has been exhibited at the ``Tachineputa no Yakata'' since August 2021. Akira Sakuma, the creator of the game, rushed over and participated in the operation.

The large tachineputa on this day are ``Kaguya'' and ``Shibaraku'' produced in 2019, and ``Keiko Shokon, Emperor Jinmu, and the golden kite'' produced in 2018. ” in order. Watching him parade through the streets chanting "Yattemare", the gathered spectators turned their smartphones and cameras upwards and gave a big round of applause, unable to hold back their excitement.

The festival runs until August 8th.
