NAGOYA, Japan—A Japanese entrepreneur said he was completely conquered by Shen Yun after attending the performing arts at the Aichi Prefectural Art Theater in Nagoya on Jan. 28.
“All programs are touching. There are no words that can describe my happiness,” said Mr. Suzuki Hideyuki, the president of a printing house. “From the moment the curtains lifted, I was filled with excitement.”
“Their movements are very difficult and need high-level techniques and skills. But they performed perfectly. From the height of their jumps, to the distance of their flips, … they all managed very well. It’s admirable,” he said. “A very magical point is that they danced like it was so easy!”
“I was surprised when I saw the dancers suddenly fly to the stage from the backdrop,” he said. “I don’t know how they could do it!”
Mr. Kishinaka Sotoji is the chair of a construction maintenance company. He drove four hours in the snow to attend Shen Yun.
“The performance is majestic! It’s perfect!” he said. “I came here with very high expectations. But the show is far beyond my imagination. I want to thank Shen Yun!”
A Must-See
Mr. Sakai Kouichi, an architect, encouraged everybody to attend Shen Yun in person.“When the curtain opened, all theatergoers, including me, were applauding for the splendid scene we saw,” he said. “It really was magnificent!”
Mr. Sakai said the dancers were great with their techniques, skills, and expressions.
“I was shocked when I saw they all jumped very high. They even jumped to the same height!” he said. “Everything is outstanding. You must attend this in person to see.”
“The dances delivered plenty of information about traditional values,” he said. “We should respect these values.”
Ms. Takeda Yumi, the president of a real estate company, said Shen Yun was enchanting and very entertaining.
Ms. Takeda said each Shen Yun musician and dancer was extraordinary. She commented that Shen Yun is a must-see, and everybody should attend in person.
“I hope I can attend again!” she said.
‘Music Is Fabulous’
Mr. Totani Korenobu, the president of a photography and design company, is a big fan of classical music and said the Shen Yun orchestra was the best.“Indeed, it’s from New York. The quality of its music is fabulous. You can hear each instrument’s sound. This is rarely seen in Japan,” he said.
The compositions are all original and new each year, performed by a classical orchestra that includes ancient Chinese instruments as permanent members of the ensemble.
Mr. Totani said he was satisfied. “The only feeling I have now is that I am touched. I haven’t been moved for a long time,” he said.
