They are just having fun being … JOYFUL in “matsuri” mode. Their idea of an idol might be a little different from a standard set here so wanted to share. No cleavage necessary, no high heels, no revealing skin showing or tight clothing basically needed to sell yourself … to be an idol there:) What a relief for moms of daughters…<\/p>\n
I miss the participatory group energy – love the caller-response exchange and the comic touch. It probably looks a bit odd to the Westerners how the fans have a cheering section who dance along (same movements kind of like bon-odori at a festival…) – anyway, I don’t know why I am posting this (so unrelated to … yoga) I must be getting home sick… last year New Years and Christmas was in Tokyo but this year … not. sob.<\/p>\n
No matter how long I have been here, I still consider where my mother is, where my father is buried, my home. But this adopted home is lovely too – in gratitude. America is a beautiful country too where the girls can truly shine, not just on stage but off the stage. I respect so many of the women around me who are so beautiful here.<\/p>\n
America is a country of immigrants – If you can’t jump on the plane to go back to the old country to see your mother or your sister or ….. Then create a family here & be the seed … you can get “there” (where?) through the practice of yoga.<\/p>\n
So sorry this post is not very ZEN:) but wanted to debunk Asian women’s stereotype of shyness (its dependent on a person not race) abroad and share this study in contrasts, where the opposites – the loud and the hushed silence (shh…) are … separate and one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
