They won the Gold prize. The theme of this year is "Kaguyaduki"(). It is popular to use blueish colors for the costumes this year. I was a little surprised that I saw "Tottori Yosakoi Dancing Team" wore blue costumes. I had an impression that Honiya wore in warm colors costumes however they changed to blue and yellow costumes reminding a beautiful moonlit night. We could see a small LED crescent shape lights at their chest in the night.
