“Shen Yun is fantastic! My mind became very calm now. I’m fully cured,” said Mr. Murata Syozo, director of the Business Alliance Affairs Bureau of Otsu City.
“The music is awesome. It’s great. I felt my body and mind were more and more relaxed,” he added. “The whole show is magnificent. It’s very colorful and beautiful.”
Mr. Nijo Hiroma, a chemical researcher, also said: “My heart was soothed [by Shen Yun].”
“The show is majestic, grand, but so close to me,” he said. “It made me feel that it’s my origin, my home. The performance brought me a very strong emotion.”
“The dances are excellent. They expressed deep and profound connotations,” he said. “I feel that we should not forget our traditional values. We shouldn’t forget our spiritual world.”
Shen Yun’s Beauty Is ‘Beyond Imagination’
“The show is very beautiful, beyond my imagination,” said Mr. Tanaka Tomio, a famous architect who owns a company that builds traditional buildings.“Dancers leapt into the air and stopped there for a while mid-air, which is incredible,” he said. “There are no words that can describe the beauty of the female dancers. They dance like flowing water. The male dancers are very light and agile. I was deeply impressed by them.”
“The female dancers are like heavenly maidens. They are very graceful,” he said. “The male dancers are masculine and valiant. They jumped amazing high.”
Mr. Shinooka enjoyed the orchestra.
“I see the stage as a whole, and I felt that each instrument corresponds to a melody which represented a dedicated dancing role. This is astounding!” he said. “The performance has very high artistry. I have never seen a show using dance to tell histories. I was very moved.”
‘It Touched My Heart Deeply’
Mr. Kanogawa Yoshiaki, the president of a metal wire manufacturer, said that he was enchanted by Shen Yun singers.“How can their voice be so bright and loud? I was shocked,” he said. “The sound of the erhu (a two-stringed ancient Chinese instrument) can reach the deep end of my heart.”
Mr. Kosugi Kunio, an advisor of the Toyama Branch of the Japan Disaster Prevention Association, said that Shen Yun resonated with him.
Mr. Kosugi praised Shen Yun for presenting the traditional cultures and values, which Japanese people also cherish.
“Shen Yun resonated with me in so many aspects. I don’t know how to describe it. But it touched my heart deeply,” he said.
