In the “We can’t believe this is available” department comes a strangely named website called “Okinawa Live Show” from the Okinawa Prefectural Government. Don’t let the name fool you as this is an amazing resource of English-subtitled videos (also available on their YouTube channel) of Luchuan traditional performing arts like Okinawa Shibai, Kumiudui, Ryukyu Buyou, Okinawa Minyou, and Eisaa. There’s a lot of content available so if we can make a suggestion, start with the kumiudui “Shushin Kaneiri” which is one of our favorites!
