[Challenge to the world in Fushimi] Achieved a Guinness World Record ™ with "Kyo Flame Sodefure!"
The Student Executive Committee of the Kyoto Student Festival Project, which is planned and operated by students and supported by all Kyoto universities, the business community, the local community, and the government, held a grand community exchange event in cooperation with seven shopping districts in the Fushimi area and the Kyoto International Student Film Festival as a pre-event ahead of the Kyoto Student Festival Main Festival scheduled to be held in October this year.
Ten years have passed since the birth of the Kyoto Student Festival's original creative odori, "Kyo Flame Sodefure!", and the number of student dancers has exceeded 1,000 every year. So, this year, the 11th year, Kyo Flame Sodefure! The special version challenged the Guinness World Record ™ for the largest comtemporary dance, and was recognized as a winner.
This large-scale pre-event, which was planned to enliven the Kyoto region with the passion of the students, was successfully completed with a large number of visitors. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who came and all those who supported us in various ways, and would like to report on the event.

Report
This project, which was the largest in the history of the Kyoto Student Festival's pre-event, was successfully completed thanks to the strong support of the seven shopping streets in the Fushimi area and everyone involved, and the students' hopeful enthusiasm and challenge ended in the best form of "Guinness World Records ™ certification".
Students engage in various exchange activities every day with the goals of "spreading the charms of Kyoto" and "revitalizing the region." We will continue to explore new initiatives with the aim of making this kind of exchange through the "Kyo Flame Sodefure!" dance the charm of "Kyoto Student City" spread to the whole world, and above all, to be an organization where the Kyoto Student Festival takes root in the community and can further revitalize the city of Kyoto.
The culmination of the Kyoto Student Festival is the main festival held every October. Please look forward to this festival, which will be even more powerful due to the success of this event!
