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.

With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

A floor hit from the big-room ace Nicky Romero, released in January 2020.

Although it has a serious tone, it features a clear, dance-pop-like structure, and the undulating bassline makes it easy to catch the rhythm.

Her EyesRushin’

Her EyesRushin'

This track is irresistible for the contrast between its bouncy buildup and airy drop: it’s “Her Eyes,” a collaboration between EDM producer Lushin and Melbourne-based producer Wave Cooper.

Genre-wise, it falls under electro house and bounce.

The springy bassline makes it impossible not to dance! The glitch-like stuttered synth sound effects are also incredibly cool.
