\u3000<\/p>\n <\/u><\/br><\/p>\n \u3000At the end of the JCK Youth Forum, the students held a big fun cultural night event that they longed for. They performed their countries\u2019 traditional and contemporary dances and sung song.<\/p>\n \u3000This year, the Korean students performed popular dances and charmed the audience, especially boys! The Japanese students first sung a song, \u2018Hana wa saku\u2019 (Flowers Will Bloom) which had been produced by NHK. The song held special meaning as it commemorated the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011. That song brought much charity donation for the victims of the 3.11 earthquake. Then, the Japanese students performed a lively dance called \u201cYo-kai Taiso\u201d which came from the animation, \u201cYo-kai-Watch\u201d. The second dance was called \u201cSo-ran Bushi,\u201d one of the most well-known traditional songs depicting the lives of fishermen.<\/p>\n \u3000Big applauses given to the Japanese performance showed that Chinese and Korean students would remember the Japanese performance which will remain in their memory. I am sure that they remembered the dances in their sub-consciousness, and sang and danced happily in dreams after their long and hectic days. That meant the Japanese performances had successfully done their job thanks to midnight practices.<\/p>\n \u3000The Chinese students performed a popular dance and a Japanese song \u2018Tokinonagareni miwo makase\u2019 by Teresa Teng who is one of the most popular Asian singers in the 21st century to bridge Japan and other Asian countries’ gaps. We also sung the song praying for improved relations between China and Japan.<\/p>\n \u3000In our great community we shared art thru dance and music and we re-affirmed the possibility of connecting our minds and hearts in music and dance. <\/p>\n \u3000On September 16, 2015, the JCK Youth Forum held a cultural night show. The Japanese students excelled in their performance of traditional songs and dances.
