You can tell I am quite taken by the song/dance. I just learned it caused a sensation at least through out Asia. One Chinese bride rehearsed it with her girlfriends for 2 months and performed to her guests. I want to learn the dance move too. ho ho ho, not easy at all. My back already complained about all those subtle moves.

Actually, there is nothing innovation about the moves and appeal, at least the first version. They look very similar to us. the 50's 60's black girl group? However, like anything else, it's not what but how well the execution. The control of the body movement, facial expression, very importantly, the timing sense of ryhthm, and whole group formation, all these things make differences in the outcome. See how  lined up of all 5 girls' body movement.  That is the Asian standard. At least I remember as a kid in school doing the Jr. red guard formation under Mao, they would never let it fly if the whole group don't move exactly in sync, as least as much as our eyes can detect. Every move, every body parts, the arm, the leg... have to line up with everybody else. That's tons of practice required. Pretty taxing on your body, but hey, way more exicing than being sent to clean the stinky pig poop or carry the human waste in open barrel to the farm field in our school days. Yuck!!!!!!!!

Talking about movement, it reminds me of those women in Prince of Tears http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cli0n8TLuu8 are amazingly lady like, gracious, gentle and able to endure so much. Saw that movie in the sky.

I also saw Hachiko: A Dog's Tale by Richard Gere. Wow, that beautiful dog. Won me over thousand times. such a loyal soul. Great movie the whole family can enjoy. Get some tissue by your side. The story is based on this Tokyo dog's story. His stature in Tokyo has become a meeting place. Too bad I didn't have time to see it. I chose to get my Hokaido milk desert.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachi
