Video – Uruma City combines bullfighting and a coming-of-age ceremony amid the coronavirus pandemic
January 11, 2021 Ryukyu Shimpo
Uruma City held its first coming-of-age ceremony at the Ishikawa Multipurpose Dome (bullfighting ring) on January 10, taking extra care to provide proper ventilation. As a special guest for the year of the Ox, an enormous 1,100 kg 10-year-old fighting bull named “Ryuriki-oh” made an appearance. While signing along was not allowed for the music, at the height of Uruma City’s song, Ryuriki-oh stepped in for the new adults, letting out a loud “Moo” and eliciting laughter from those in attendance.
