So, the danjiri-bayashi has been played at a promotion for the Olympics, which was wasteful spending of taxpayer's money, and the opening ceremony of a professional bowling tournament as well as weddings and funerals; moreover, there are some preservation societies and forums called Ko and Ren that carry out guerrilla concerts.
こうして、祭礼のとき以外に、結婚式、葬式などはもちろん、血税の無駄遣いであったオリンピックの誘致活動、なかにはプロのボウリング・トーナメントの開会式などで演奏されることもあり、さらにはゲリラ・ライブを敢行する保存会や講・連もある。
