NISHINOMIYA, Japan—Shen Yun Performing Arts finished all five performances at the Hyogo Performing Arts Center in Nishinomiya, Japan, and on the final evening of Jan. 9, there were two curtain calls but audiences still continued applauding.

Mr. Harano is the president of an acupuncture and moxibustion clinic. He was amazed by the dancers’ synchronization and accuracy.

“They jumped high but landed on the stage quietly. Their dancers are like playing a pre-recorded movie, which is really incredible,” he said. “I was shocked when I saw they danced with very difficult techniques but presented them with ease.”

“There’s no primary dancer in the dance. But you also can say every artist is the main actor, the main actress. They cooperate with each other harmoniously and dance one story after another vividly,” he said. “I guess the director must be a very powerful and admirable expert.”

“It’s marvelous! The dancers’ dynamics and facial expressions are very impressive,” she said. “I was touched. It’s really beautiful. I want to try this dance, if only once.”

“We are very lucky to watch these divine cultures that are inherited generation by generation. I believe Shen Yun wants us to know that real happiness is in these traditional cultures,” he said. “China has a long history that enriched the Chinese culture. But look at current China. I feel sad.”

“I felt it from deep in my soul. So, I applauded harder and harder during the show,” he said.

Ms. Morioka Yoriko, a co-owner of a tailor store, said Shen Yun was invigorating and uplifting.

“If you get a chance to attend Shen Yun once, you will know. It’s magnificent!” she said. “I hope Shen Yun will come here every year and then I can attend every year.”

“Shen Yun brings us what is true and good,” he said. “Shen Yun’s artists are not pursuing material profits. They are pursuing real kindness.”
