It's all about dreaming | Kento Mori | TEDxKeioU

Based on his own experience of having his life dramatically changed by encountering Michael Jackson, he emphasized the importance of constantly dreaming, living every moment with all his heart and soul, and how life can change in countless ways depending on one's mindset. As a junior high school student, he was deeply impacted by Michael Jackson and dreamed of performing on the same stage. He dropped out of university and traveled to the United States alone, auditioning for numerous roles. He was eventually selected as Madonna's exclusive dancer and accompanied her on her world tour. In 2009, he won a position as a backup dancer for Michael Jackson's "THIS IS IT" tour, his first in 12 years, but had to decline due to his exclusive contract with Madonna. Since then, he has collaborated with numerous renowned artists and gained worldwide recognition. Currently, under the concept of "#JapanToTheWorld," he is exploring the possibilities of AR Live (Augmented Reality) and working towards becoming a dance and AR artist, Kent Mori. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
