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.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Ninja Dance

From the drama centered on ninjas, “Ninja ni Kekkon wa Muzukashii” (Marriage Is Difficult for a Ninja), we’d like to introduce its theme song, “Ninja Dance.” You may have seen it on social media, where celebrities and characters dance to the track—so many of you might already know it.

The choreography is designed with ninja movements as its motif, which is a key highlight.

It’s a good idea to adjust the difficulty to match children’s ages.

There are some cool moves too, so start by learning the choreography slowly and practice at an easy pace.

Ninja Hattari-kun

♬ Ninja Hattari – Tempalay

Let me introduce Ninja Hattari-kun, which also serves as the theme song for the WOWOW original drama I Want to Hold Aono-kun So Badly I Could Die.

Tempalay’s Ninja Hattari-kun features a cool sound, and a key point is that the lyrics include ninjutsu techniques.

When practicing with children, it’s a good idea to use instruments like whistles to highlight key movements.

The rhythm is complex, so this is a recommended idea for preschoolers.
