That's a wrap!
Our finalists of the 2023 Nikkei Matsuri Talent Search took our breath away, raising the bar even higher than the years before.
Participants wowed the judges and the audience with a diverse array of talents: rocking out with electric guitars, original songwriting, impeccable dance moves, even theatrical Japanese sword combat! But in the end, only one could claim the coveted first place…
Congratulations to the young duo Seaquam Music, whose powerful improvised accompaniments moved the entire audience!

And congratulations also to our runner-up, Catherine Wang, for her elegant and mesmerizing Chinese dance.
We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all our participants, including every single person who came to the auditions, for making the Talent Search such a success. And to the audience, for coming out and cheering on all our future stars. Wherever you go from here, the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre is proud to have been part of your journey.
