With a vision to cultivate the spirit of athletes “from Aomori to the rest of Japan and the world,” the group members display the “blue” (ao) character of Aomori on their chests and moved the center of their activities to Tokyo in order to reach the world. Blue Tokyo is the world’s first boys’ gymnastics and street dance unit. Bodies highly trained as athletes moves in precision to music. This one and only entertainment company combines street dance with gymnastics in their highly artistic, dynamic performances.
