Hip Hopper Monk in Tokyo

In Tokyo, there is a Monk Bar. In a Buddhist temple near the bar,
monks sing hip hop and attract people singing and dancing.
They say that the traditional or old way of teaching Buddhism does not work for people in Japan today.
Besides, many temples are shutting down because there are not many people who want to take care of those.
Also, Buddhism is becoming less popular in Japan, because it is hard for the ordinary people to understand what it means.
They came up with an idea that singing hip hop music to teach the Buddhism will attract young people. They sing hip hop in the temple, and make cocktails.
Their idea worked well, and the number of young people who visit the temple doubled.
