What I liked

Ai’s physicality, humor, portrayals of various characters and Japanese point of view.

What I didn't like

Lighting – could be warmer, less harsh.

My overall impression

I really enjoyed the show. Ai tells her journey from a true modern Japanese perspective. Makes one wonder how America is portrayed to foreigners. Her performance is entertaining, touching, funny, courageous, and honest. She speaks from the heart and offers a unique point of view. Being from Japan, one could relate to many parts of her story. It was wonderful to see someone portray the Japanese experience accurately. Ai’s courage and honesty in her one woman show is inspirational. Highly recommend.
