introduction
The Asian Games, Asia's largest sporting event, is highly anticipated at its closing ceremony, which aims to showcase the cultural charm and artistic creativity of the hosts.
At the closing ceremony of the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games, the Japanese team gave us an eight-minute performance.
However, this creative performance caused a different response in the audience and became a focus of the closing ceremony.
The performances are dominated by modern dance and electronic music, and try to express Japanese culture and artistic styles.
In the movements of modern dance, the audience can see the dancers' control of the dance, but some of the movements appear slightly stiff and lack fluidity.
The rhythm of electronic music is strong, combined with dance, with the intention of creating a unique artistic effect.
However, this combination seems incongruous in some moments, giving a slightly abrupt feeling.
Overall, this performance in Japan experimented with a new art form, but the details still need to be perfected.
In the face of this eight-minute performance in Japan, the reaction of mainland netizens can be described as mixed.
On the one hand, some netizens expressed great interest in Japanese cultural expressions, believing that this is a different artistic experiment.
But at the same time, many voices have criticized it, believing that the content and format of the performance are somewhat inconsistent with the theme of the Asian Games and are too avant-garde.
What's more, bluntly saying that this performance made them feel a little depressed, and even when they saw some parts, they couldn't help but get goosebumps.
Japan, as an island nation, is deeply influenced by its historical, geographical, and social context.
This cultural feature was amplified in the performance of the closing ceremony of the Asian Games. But this cultural element, deeply rooted in Japanese soil, seems elusive to audiences in other countries and regions.
Although this performance attempts to show the charm of Japanese culture, it seems to be somewhat out of place in terms of form and content with the multicultural background of Asia.
epilogue
The acceptance of this performance by mainland netizens has been mixed, but it undoubtedly provides an opportunity for everyone to re-examine and think about cultural differences.
Cultural differences are inevitable, but understanding and respecting these differences is key to cross-cultural communication.
