~*Japanese Culture Nite*~

This is the first time I attended Japanese Culture Nite. Actually, I got the ticket for free from my boss who is not free on that night. Humph.. I got the free ticket also is a problem cause I don't have friend to go with. But at last, I went for it.

When I reach Main Hall, MMU around 7.30pm, I saw people standing outside like waiting to go in. I was thinking,"Huh! Got ticket also need to queue?" I dislike to queue, so I went to the ATM of BCB to check my account. Then, I went back to the Main Hall and the people there was lesser. I took some pictures and went in.

Once I entered inside the Main Hall, the usherer took my ticket and tear off the top part for lucky draw. Then the other usherers gave me a Teruterubozu, a booklet of the event and a drink taste green tea. After that, I directed myself for a nice seat which I could take pictures and watch the performance without blockage.

After the arrival of VIP, the directors of the event and the president of JLS gave their speech. Then, the event follow by the opening ceremony which there was a student holding a Samurai and gave it to the VIP to put it in front of the stage. After that, the performances were started by a Japanese traditional dance, follow by a Japanese drum performance, and some other Japanese dance. There are also local performances which were Para Para Paradise, musical performance and modern dances.

Around 10.45pm, the event was ended and I left the Main Hall and went home.

My review for this event is, the Japanese performances was great and good. Even though, I'm still not satisfied with this event because it does not fit with its title - Japanese Culture Nite. The dances performed by the local students were hot and modern and they are not fit into the title. I not sure about what other people expect from this event, but I'm sure this event disspointed me. I was expecting to see the performance with Japanese umbrella, hand fan and dress in Kimono.
