DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

A Kyoto-based bassist who loves radio and ska punk. I mostly inhabit the ani-radio scene, but I’m not a professional. I’m a bit unusual in that I’ve built up my anison knowledge through ani-radio. My love of ska punk centers on Japanese bands. I’ve also worked as a staffer at a music studio. I’m always running around in circles every day.

The rock band KEYTALK performs the theme song “Ouka Ranman” for the anime RIN-NE.

They’ve produced many catchy tracks marked by a danceable beat that makes effective use of four-on-the-floor and sharp guitar riffs.

Another of their strengths is their twin-vocal setup, in which the two members—guitarist Tomomasa Teranaka, known as “the maestro,” and bassist Yoshikatsu Shutō—switch vocal duties depending on the song.

Their ability to show different sides of themselves from track to track is a big part of their appeal!
