Gendai Kuwata, a self-taught artist who combines animated dance with impressive laser light shows, was sent straight to the Romania’s Got Talent semi-final after impressing the judges, earning a Golden Buzz from Andi Moisescu.
Gendai Kuwata says that he didn’t inherit the talent from someone, he developed it himself, but he learned a lot through communication and collaboration with his friends. He is completely self-taught and admires director Spike Jonze for his creativity and storytelling talent, according to ProTV.
The jury’s reaction
In the edition of Friday, March 6, 2026, Gendai managed to get a place in the semi-final of Romanians have talent. Andi Moisescu declared himself completely conquered by the Japanese dance. He didn’t think long and pressed the Golden Buzz button.
“What a beautiful moment! How spectacular! So you want to tell us that everything you showed us today is the fruit of your work, but what did you learn on your own? I mean, I was fascinated by some things. First of all, I’m passionate about both dance and technology, and it seems to me that when someone manages to combine these two fields that are theoretically unrelated, I think it’s absolutely sensational. (…)
And what I saw here… It seemed like I entered another dimension. Man, you are amazing as a dancer too and your timing is absolutely sensational! I am conquered by what I saw. You will return to Romania for the semi-final!”Andi Moisescu said before the Golden Buzz appeared.
Who is Gendai Kuwata?
The young man, originally from Tokyo, went on stage countless times and made televised appearances in various contexts (including America’s Got Talent, Spain’s Got Talent, France’s Got Talent and Asia’s Got Talent).
He doesn’t know if he will win this show, but he strongly believes that what he presents on stage is a real work of art.
One of the most important moments of his career was in 2013, when he took the stage “Apollo Theater” from New York. This experience gave him a deep understanding of international performance and the value of global recognition.
There were also difficult moments, such as the performance in Armenia, where many problems arose. He understood how important it is to take the initiative and personally check every detail when working abroad.
His biggest regret is that he didn’t try more things earlier in life, like the piano or architecture. If they won Romanians have talent, they would like to create a show with lasers in nature, in a forest or under the starry sky.
He also has other creative hobbies, such as cooking, making music and building things (including LEGO). His biggest dream is to create the biggest show in the world and turn entertainment into a topic as discussed and appreciated as sports.
