Let's all dance! Uplifting dance tracks you can sing and dance to at karaoke

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.

The style of dancing while singing with a straight face felt fresh and became a big hit.

I bet many people copied the choreography back then.

Since it’s a slow-tempo dance, it’s very easy.

If two people split the parts and perform it, it’s a song that scores very highly with older audiences.
