“First of all, it's wonderful. I think it's quite difficult to express a spiritual world through dance, but it was really moving to watch, and I could tell it was reaching the audience,” said Yufumi Kosaka, a company president.
“[The tenor] is wonderful. The ability to draw power from deep within his body is also instructive for karate hand movements and techniques,” said Tatsuo Takekawa, a karate grandmaster.
“I have heard of the erhu performance before, and I was very impressed by it. They gave a great performance, and I wish it had lasted longer,” said Yasuo Koumori, a company president.
“The programs were all well composed and I think they were all wonderful,” said Masao Saito, a Rotary international member.
“Even if you visit China today and see temples, it seems they lack that deep spiritual essence, which is unfortunate. However, I believe the revival of this tradition will happen again,” said Mr. Takekawa.
“I think it is extremely important to cherish traditional culture and make use of it in the modern age. I have learned today that Chinese people also cherish traditional culture in the way they did, so I think it would be good if it becomes even more popular,” said Kazuo Warabi, a former mayor.
“I think [Shen Yun] is wonderful. I think it would be even more wonderful if it became more widely known around the world. So I hope [Shen Yun] will continue its efforts with this goal in mind,” said Masaaki Ota, a company vice president.
“The traditions have been practiced in China since ancient times, and I am very impressed by the performance. [The traditions] remain relevant to the present day,” said Eitaro Saito, a Rotary international member.
“It's rare to find anyone who can do this. Actually, there aren't any. It's only here, with [Shen Yun], which makes it truly wonderful,” said Tsuyoshi Ikeda, a human resources director.
