ANGERME “Taiki Bansei” (A Late Bloomer) (Dance Promotion Edit)

Starting with the sliding moves of “Taiki Bansei,” if you don’t dance each phrase with precision, it can end up looking sloppy.

That’s exactly why it’s so worth the challenge, and I think the joy when the formation clicks is all the greater.

Festival Ninjaninja

Ninja – Festival Ninja [Good Audio]

A song with a lively tempo and plenty of traditional Japanese flair that partially uses phrases from Hibari Misora’s “Omatsuri Mambo.” The members boast impressive vocal ability and performance skills—effortlessly pulling off backflips—making it a truly overwhelming piece.

It would be perfect if they could nail the acrobatics in style, too.
