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.

On nights when cherry blossoms fallaimyon

On a Cherry Blossom Night

On nights when cherry blossoms fallaimyon

A cute love song chosen as the theme for ABEMA’s dating reality show “Koi to Ookami ni wa Damasarenai” (“Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf”).

I’m sure it brings the show to mind for many of you.

While it has a poppy, lighthearted vibe, you can also feel a fragile side where the drifting cherry blossoms mirror a changing heart and a fleeting love.

There’s the wish that feelings won’t fade, and thoughts of love that grows slowly over time.

Love comes in as many forms as there are people.

With Aimyon’s deeply human vocals, it’s a spring song that gently brings tears, letting you feel both beauty and warmth.

Ivy Color [Even If We Forget Spring] Music Video

Even if we forget springaibii karaa

This song seems to pair beautifully with the sparkling sunshine of spring: Ivy to Color’s “Even If We Forget Spring.” It’s a track that really captures spring’s subtle bittersweetness—the season that makes your steps feel lighter and more cheerful, yet is also a time of farewells.

The song follows a narrator seeing off his girlfriend as she leaves—whether for further study or a job—from the place they’re in now.

You can feel, everywhere, his desire to cheer her on and send her off properly into a new world, mixed with an unavoidable sense of loneliness.
