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.

Bruno Mars – Generade

Generade means “hand grenade.” It’s a song that powerfully expresses a one-sided crush—the resolve to catch even a hand grenade for the sake of someone precious, to endure any pain.

When sung in Bruno’s voice, the sense of longing becomes even more poignant.

Bruno Mars – Killa on the Run (JOKER)

Killa on the RunBruno Mars

This song is about Bruno’s anger toward a certain woman.

It seems she had been controlling him however she liked for a long time, and because of that, Bruno lost his sense of who he was.

To stop it, he decides on his own to break up with her, and he even wants to get back at her.

Despite the dark theme, it’s a very rhythmic track.

Only When You’re LonelyBruno Mars

Bruno Mars – Only when you’re lonely

Only When You're LonelyBruno Mars

This song is a bittersweet piece about Bruno realizing he’s being used by a woman.

He really likes her, but she only calls or asks to see him in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep.

She’s probably lonely and can’t stand being by herself.

Even though Bruno would go see her late at night, she keeps ignoring him during the day when she’s with her friends.

It’s a song about Bruno deciding to end that kind of relationship.
