Dance Teacher Sees Shen Yun For The Third Time

TOKYO—Shen Yun Performing Arts New York Company performed at U-Port Hall in Tokyo on the afternoon of Saturday, March 6. The first class performance showed the charm of traditional Chinese culture and art for the Shen Yun fans.

Yagi Harue, who has taught Japanese dance for 55 years, caught the Saturday performance. She proudly said, “This is the third year that I've seen Shen Yun. I knew Shen Yun was good after I saw it the first time. So I come every year. This is the third time.”

She said with surprise, “There is nothing repeated for three years. All the contents are new and there are so many programs. There is no other show like this. When I see new contents every time, I feel fresh. I never expected that In a Miao Village is also Chinese dance. The girls wear silver necklaces, giving out a special sound. It’s really fascinating.”

Ms. Yagi paid much attention to the details of the dance. “I also tried to find out where the sound of the plates were coming from in Mongolian Hospitality. Finally, I thought it should come from the actors’ hands. Their every movement is so neat and uniform. How much practicing must they do to do the movement of rotating with knees? It’s really great!”

“I like to watch all kinds of shows, but Shen Yun is the best one I’ve ever seen. The words of the songs are really good. There are Japanese subtitles. I didn’t know the Japanese written with Chinese characters, seldom used, have such a different meaning. I felt great energy in the words. It seems that they are encouraging us to do better.” she said.

“I didn’t expect that I can sit on the seat where I can watch the whole audience and the orchestra pit. I didn’t know there is the live orchestra this year. The entire show is extremely sumptuous.

“I believe that everyone who has seen Shen Yun will gain strength. Shen Yun is not only showing joyfulness, there are spiritual connotations. In the past, I thought that whoever is bad to me, I should give him back the same evil. After seeing the program Nothing Can Block the Divine Path that presented Falun Gong being persecuted, I then understood that I should be good [to people who are bad to me]. I learned that it is the universal principle that good and evil have their own rewards.” Ms. Yagi said.
