Agreed. I just love the brass instruments starting up at the beginning of EXPO version.

I found out "yokyou" (sideshow) is the term used for the little skits sometimes/often performed at wedding receptions in Japan. For example, my friend used to be a flight attendant, so her flight attendant friends who came to the wedding put on their uniforms and did a little song/dance/skit thing during the reception. (I wasn't there, the wedding happened a year ago and we just met two months ago; I saw a picture.) That's a "yokyou" in the wedding context.

People never expect me to know words like this, btw, because it's not standard vocabulary at all. Haha. Thanks Ringo.
