Flash mobs taking over Ikebukuro every weekend!
The F/T Mob Special is a series of unique flash mob events in Ikebukuro that will see large numbers of people taking over the station and other public spaces. Utilizing both pre-trained "dancers" and spontaneous participation from passers-by, this was a word-of-mouth hit last year and promises to repeat its success on an even bigger scale. Four dance and music artists will be creating the mobs, the movements for which can be learnt in advance by watching practice videos posted online. Anyone can then go to the venues to participate in the mobs happening at various places around the neighborhood every weekend during the festival.
