The April 25 House of Culture plaza here was crowded with youth and students who gathered there to celebrate the significant day.

Narration "May Long Journey of Songun Shine" was presented and then began the dancing party to the tune of song "Our General Is the Best."

The participants presented dances to the tune of such songs as "Let's Sing of Our Pride in Being under the Guidance of the General" and "Appearing in the East and in the West, It's the Anti-Japanese Guerilla Style." The dancing party that turned the vast plaza into a veritable sea of dancers represented thanks to Kim Jong Il who has made journeys of patriotic devotion for the last five decades, instilling the invincible spirit into the army and people of the DPRK, demonstrating the national power of Juche Korea and making a new history of building a thriving nation.

They also reflected the pride and happiness of bringing about great innovations and leaping progress in building a rich and powerful country under the wise guidance of the illustrious Songun commander.

Similar events took place in provincial seats, cities and counties on the same day.
