"They should retitle this video: "COSPLAY as Shinichi Yamamoto".....
"Ritualized song and dance, especially mimicry, is the most primitive method to "please the gods". This video represents an esoteric practice to Summon Guru Ikeda Into the Gathering. The clapping, autonomous audience, called to prayer with the familiar, martial opening notes; the youth division performs the occultic movements (mudras) while the audience intones the lyrics (mantras) and together, find Rapture..... For a brief moment, the mundane youth division become Exalted Vessels for the Ikeda Spirit, and the mundane group is transported (briefly) to an ephemeral Soka Gakkai HQ Leaders Meeting, together, forever, with Sensei..." - Warren Edmonson
