橘高校同學很用心，指揮木花百花笑容甜美，讓人感覺世界美好。

京都橘のファンになって頂き感謝です。

日台友好🇯🇵🇹🇼

When I heard the 3rd song "If you love me", I cried too. The camera switching in Taiwan was also great.

真的日本京都橘高校表演的太美了，讓台灣掀起一陣旋風

The drum major is trombone player, Kihana-san, nickname "Creta." I think she will be remembered as one of the best in Tachibana history.

日台友好萬歲！謝謝橘高校的完美演出，我愛的不得了！！

我未來一定要去京都橘高校朝聖

The DM for this class is very talented. She is beautiful and graceful. A great leader for the band. They always give a great performance and I am pleased that they did a show in Taiwan.

Taiwan is lucky to get a taste of The Best Marching Band in The World. And when they play "By The Riverside," you know The Party is coming down the lane!

Hey Mama! You know this must be the experience of a lifetime for our Girls and Boys - The Stars of the Show on Taiwan's Great Day! From the many videos I've seen huge crowds turned out to watch them rehearsing, even the rehearsal without instruments!! I must give a shout out to the Taipei First Girls High School who also put on a Spectacular and contrasting display - they were Excellent! and shots of the 2 schools having a great time together were a sight to see! Congratulations to Taiwan for staging a Marvelous Show and Bravo to you Mama, you always put on a Great Show!

台 日 友 好

Matomes no lipahak ko 'orip niyam. (Amis 姆語) 一生一世，歡欣喜悅。

Unlike the Rose Parade where current and past students were invited to participate, this group only consisted of the active high school students. All the names you mentioned such as Chippi, Hitomi and Mita were past graduates and they weren't there.

About 30 years ago I had a class in graduate school with a television reporter from Taipei Taiwan. She was studying in the US at Central Missouri University. I have wondered how she is faring, I think her name is Che Lo.

In the beginning, they were talking about how she has Japanese and Taiwanese parents and he is indigenous Formosan and all people are happy together in Taiwan before introducing the guests from Japan. The woman in the tan jacket is the Taiwan President. She took the time a couple of days before to personally meet with the band. The song they were marching to after the fanfare, "Enter the Gladiators", is mostly associated with 'circus music' in the USA. There are a couple of reasons why they use nicknames and they are secret. In their culture, one person standing out from the group is frowned upon. It is also to protect the kids from creepy people tracking them down,. An exception is made for the drum major since she is the spokesman for the group. Over time a few other nicknames have leaked out (like Chippi and Kurara). Chippi really embraces the nickname and uses it instead of her real name.

Hi Mama Ai ! I am one of Japanese Tachibana Fan. Do you remember double cross formation in their performance ? In Chinese character, 10 is like cross shape, the formation is from October (10) 10.

Awesome!👍

🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍⋯⋯

It’s an amazing performance ❤❤❤

Hi Mama Ai, thank you for uploading this performance. It was full of Energy. I don't know any of the nicknames of this Term of Tachibana. I wish for them good health, good fortune and happiness. Also, that the O-VILS are successful enough to have room for any members of these Terms (119,120,121) to join, should any wish to do so. " Hey! " 🍊🍊

サムネ、「立花」になってまっせ🙄
