Matrix Ping-pong: Original versus Copycat

I found very creative folks in a Japanese television show just about five years ago. It was cool as they can blend ping-pong with The Matrix sensation. You may probably want to see how they work!


Recently when I was searching out videos in YouTube, suddenly I found folks from another part of the world “copycat” how those Japanese folks did for the show. When I look at the copycat version, I feel that it was so lame and nothing special about it. But many people still found it very entertaining!

Japanese Hologram Concert: When dream comes into reality


That’s the video of Japanese hologram concert, in which those people have brought an animated character to sing lively in front of audiences. I am often amazed with how those people who created such concert made it happen. When we were kids, we were all dreaming to be able to meet those cartoon or anime characters in televisions. Now people have already invented on how to make such dream comes truly alive.

Furthermore, I salute those musicians that carry on the concerts very well. When observed, the musicians at the back have been working so hard to be able to synchronize their melody with the singing hologram. If somehow one of those musicians were not able to make it, the whole concert would ruin up and synchronization did not happen. That’s the amazing thing in performing such concert and, I believe, they must have spent a lot of their energy and time for training and bashing at the stage prior to their performance.

Making a dream into reality does need power and passion inside you to make it into reality. Those people who made the concert happened are the ones who got driving force that realizing their dreams. The lesson we can learn is that: have your dream, open your eyes and mind, and do have passion to make your dream come true. Most often the passion is the one that drive you to be hard working more than you used to be. All in all, I believe that the poorest man is actually the man who does not have a dream. When he has no dream, he definitely has no passion in carrying on his life.
