Ice shows usually are all about having fun, an entertainment for those who enjoy watching figure skatings. However, GIFT is an ice story, so it's like watching a movie, a musical show and also attending a very huge group therapist all at once. It has all the required elements to make it an unforgetable and ever lasting show that will left a trace in my life forever. All the monologues, the programs, the musics, carry the viewers to our deepest state of mind. The theme of loneliness and struggle of finding the meaning of life, which a lot of us experience, accompanied by beautiful skatings and musics, made me sheds tears throughout the shows. Yuzuru is the bravest person I have ever known, barring his souls like that in front of thousands people, taking us to the deepest part of himself as well as ours. This is why Gift will always be "the friend and the place to come back to" as stated by Yuzuru, esp for people like me who also struggling with loneliness.
I'm so thankful to Yuzuru, the genious producer, who created the world of GIFT for his fans. Standing ovations too for the creative director MIKIKO-sensei, the music director Takebe-san, THEE Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, and all party involved. GIFT is a MUST WATCH, even for those who are not interested with figure skatings, this show is like one of those movies you have to watch at least once in your life.
