I was indeed very impressed by Japanese people's "more than warm" welcome since our arrival in Japan. I am part of those who arrive at least an hour before the ballet class starts so that I could have enough time to prepare my body to dance properly. And since day 1, a few Japanese fans would be there near the backstage door at 9:30 am to wish us good show. Not to mention the scene of a crowd of fans waiting in front of the backstage door after each performance!
The theatre where we performed is a special one. The stage-right in the wings is an enchanting area to visit. The walls and the ceiling were packed with old posters of galas of most of the best ballet companies that performed on this stage. As an amateur pianist, I was of course very happy to see all the Steinway grand pianos that they have in this theatre. I appreciate very much how the Japanese love art and culture.
Last but not least, the Paris Opera finally published my artist photo on their website. I quite like it, I think it represents me quite well. What do you think?

I wonder if the Japanese fans at the door had special reactions to the Asian in POB.

The picture on the POB website looks cool (very). I will check the website later. To me, it shows your inspiration to dancing from inside out.
