Let's be weebs and dance together, /cgl/! Post odottemita covers, group covers, performances, cringes, and more!
Remember Yukapon? Her old videos make me cry with embarassment but she's actually pretty hot now and she's living the weeb dream in Japan, she still acts like an annoying kawaii baby though.
http://youtu.be/IjfWLnlSKVA
>>8746505
Careful anon, mods don't like it when yukapee is mentioned.
A good majority of net idols have actually gone to Japan and live the aidoru dream in some way. Secretly salty, but i can live on.
I love this dance but I feel like it's just doomed for bad covers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXiqo1R6oYM
When will people start dressing decently in their dance videos? It peeves me so hard when someone covers a dance and their outfit looks like shit or they threw on every kawaii thing they own. Does anyone else hate this?
https://youtu.be/Z5lURNb9IHA
>>8746521
I miss old /cgl/
>>8746522
Don't give up, anon! This is one of my favorite Super Neko World covers. There is still hope!
https://youtu.be/0nrT4dADQjQ
>>8746570
This is great!
>>8746558
There's always the farm
>>8746570
Accurate but kinda boring. I like seeing personality in dancing.
>>8746588
Well it is hard to see their faces with those seizure warning lights
>>8746546
Depends on what you want to go for. If the person intends on it being a ~aidoru~ performance, then yeah they should dress up completely and have stage presence. I didn't, and as long as they're good, it doesn't matter.
>>8746546
To be fair, she was just dancing to pass the time in line at an event (according to the description)
it's actually always worried me whether they got her permission to post this considering her top keeps falling down... I'd probably ask them not to personally.
>>8746546
Given the context of the video, I don't mind. But I do think dancers who do covers should be presentable in their videos (this also goes for clean background with no distractions) Just clothing that matches can go far and can improve the quality of a video.
Has anyone heard from any net idol groups recently? Has it finally died?
Is anyone interested in odottemita dancers or groups outside the US (including cosplay dance groups)? I've fell in love with V-Project recently
https://youtu.be/TT4p3esRLmo
>>8746736
Wasn't there a group starting in the UK? I haven't heard about them in a while but I know they performed at a convention or two.
Candy Star will forever be my favorite.

>>8747741

Oh innocent anon
>>8747780
I know, anon, I'm a wishful thinker. I'm fully aware that groups like that have lots of male fans, but somehow I get even more creeped out when I see it in videos and stuff.
>>8747720
https://youtu.be/WQQVWXY3mRM
Hitode Army is a finnish group I really like. I'm a bit biased though because I'm finnish and I've seen them perform live a few times.
>>8747736
Furi Frui has been updating Facebook and posting performance announcements but their quality in performances (both singing and dancing) and appearances hasn't change since their "debut"
How do people even start these kinds of things? and why are they all the same? Are their any with an interesting gimmick?
>>8747741
Did you get introduced to idols through Love Live or something where their fans are almost entirely high school girls? It's all lies, many girls like idols but the fans are mostly awkward dudes. Otherwise the "purity" of idols wouldn't be such an issue.
>>8747818
There are many different ways how a dance group gets started. Majority of the time its a group of friends and if more members are needed, then they will look into a audition process. Then a shit load of practicing is taken place and everything goes on from there.
Some gimmicks I want to use personally is handshake events and checkis (polaroid photos) with fans. Other ways of gimmicks are maid cafes, surprise hallway performances, or prizes if you find members at cons or events or during performances.
Is babymetal technically one of these groups? Sorry newb here.
>>8747845
Babymetal is an actual idol group. /jp/ has a Babymetal and Sakura Gakuin thread if you want to find more content
>>8747807
Holy shit I love them. How popular are they over there?
>>8747829
If you want a good idol and that somewhat represents the idol industry, Wake Up Girls and AKB0048 are good recommendations.
>>8747811
I actually saw them in concert before. There really going down hill with their dance quality.. Even then, the cons I've seen them at only let them perform one or two songs. I don't blame them in that decision. Their cringy fake ~aidoru~ personas are cringy.
>>8746588
How's this anon? Enough personality?
https://youtu.be/bOvFBE66YZk
>>8748371
Eh i wouldnt count original source material of dances. Pretty sure anon wants to see a cover not done by the original dance group.
>>8748449
I think anon was being facetious.
This thread has me looking at Super Neko World covers more than usual. I ended up finding this... How to ruin a dance 101:
https://youtu.be/hMX8DWol6vQ
>>8746522
Damn. That girl in the green needed to get herself together. It's like she just learned the dance a few hours before.
>>8746505
She does not do Kozue's part justice.
>>8747737
Same here anon. Candy Star has always been my favorite.
Dances recommended for a beginner?
I'm not a fan of Vocaloid music, but if that's all there is, throw it at me.
Please and thanks.

This is the reason why people need to dance in front of a mirror. So they can see how bad they are.

From what I have seen so far I find this hard to believe.

Found some more. I just wanna bury the dance really. I already wasn't a fan of the song.
I want to do this

More cute solo dances?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-og4rOi-JY
>See all that Super Neko World covers
>Always thought that song and dance is super weaboo
>>8748570
It just depends on the dedication of the group
>>8748597
Well according to my dedication to the art or any alternative sport I've seen people break bones and injuries through dedicated practice. All these idols just want to be kawaii.
>>8748605
You see broken bones because majority of these people don't have any former background in dance or don't do simple stretches that can prevent any accidents.
Odottemita is litterally just people dancing around either wanting to be cute or do it for the hell of it. The wanna-be idols are cringy, but some are here for fun
>>8748615
>you get broken bone in basket ball because you don't have a background in basket ball
Please don't say this to Kevin Ware.
I really love Aoi. Seeing his covers are always entertaining - same with Ririri. He's as cute as her and puts a lot of effort into his dancing so maybe thats it. Some of the comments on the videos he is in though...jesus.
https://youtu.be/BPxOc8u0HQI
https://youtu.be/O-SRtymXedY
https://youtu.be/pYZqYuj_kG0
Honestly speaking though, Morning Musumen is good in general. I believe he was a part of them?
>>8748465
What are those faces....
>>8748583
Any sauce on the dress anons?
>>8748623
>compairing a college basketball player with years of experience bone injury due to force upon impact to ameture weebs prancing around to jpop
None predicted that injury and neither could it be prevented since his muscle and skin were in place of his bone.
Just stop shitting around and let weebs be weebs anon. At least we can have a little more fun than you.
>>8748645

The girl in the last video is named ririri! She has her own channel but recently stopped uploading for some reason.
https://youtu.be/lsk0yKQpo_E
>>8748672
OOOOMG SHES A BOPPER NOW! D; She's so adorable. I remember watching her first few videos!
Isn't this a lolita dress? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu1c1nANGlA
>>8748678
She performs live a lot representing the nico nico douga odottemita community. She has some of her live performances up on her YouTube. She even did a collaboration with Sanrio puroland. OP pic related.
>>8748681
I believe so anon. Lolita dresses are sometimes used in covers
https://youtu.be/j2-OgfPJr-4
>>8748655
Well maybe the ameture weebs should have more dedication so they don't look so cringy. That's the whole point of our conversation anyways.
>>8748752
Anon do you not see what you typed?
>doesn't see quality in dance groups
>quality of dance in a group is based on practice and dedication
>says that dedication can lead to broken bones
>compares ameture weebs to college basketball players
>they wouldnt be cringy ametures if they had dedication
I'm very confused anon. The whole point is to show that quality comes when you practice and are dedicated. That's what a majority of these dance groups lack. It differs from group to group however. There are groups like >>8747807 who do have that dedication and practice time then there's >>8746522 where they learn stuff last minute a week or even days before and it looks shitty.
>>8748767
You asked for my definition of dedicated practice and I replied with blood, sweat, and tears.
You replied with "oh it doesn't matter."
>>8748767
At one point you even victim blamed and insulted all injurers as amateurs.
>>8748776
None asked for your definition anon. I only answered your statement of not seeing any practice by saying "it depends on the dedication of the group" because it does. Not all groups are the same weebs trying to dance. Some are more dedicated than others and if you looked at a few more videos than the ones posted on here, pretty sure you would see it too.
If you definetly give me a source to where I said "anon what's your defintion of dedicated practice", id really love to see it
>>8748776
>>8748783
Diff anon, but after seeing the convo, your seriously not making any sense. I'm calling bait at this point
>>8747988
Pretty popular I guess? They performed at almost every major con this year and they're obviously the best group here. I'm sort of new to the whole scene so I might be wrong though.
I think they're on a hiatus now though as one of the members is in japan for her debut there.
The two sisters of the group, Noora and Petra, also have their own channel https://youtu.be/sokkkN-e7Yk
>>8747811
when have they ever sang? i wanna see this
>>8748328
interesting you'd say that, seeing as they have only ever performed once and did a 30 minute set with a bunch of dances, its up on their channel, the only other convention they danced at was at a talent show, which of course they would only be allowed one dance..
>>8748465
Am I the only one who thinks twintails without a fringe looks really cheap and trashy?
I usually am not into this sort of thing but this cover by Hitode Army makes me really happy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSlNZZpKLw8
https://youtu.be/5UKfTxlSpwg
Surprised no one posted Kaduki yet (or maybe they did and I'm blind).
She's 7 now I think, she's been making videos since she was 4. Her mom makes her all of her cosplays, and she's bloody adorable. She doesn't sing or dance very well but it's ok because she's obviously just a little kid having a blast doing what she loves. Her videos make me smile like an idiot every time.
Her mom is a pretty good seamstress too, her costumes are always very cute and well made.
>>8748936
it's like the first time i don't feel ashamed for white people dancing to japanese music.
they're amazing!
>>8748938
Hope she doesn't become Venus when she grows up kek
>>8748936
I really love them. This dance is so all over the place so it's super easy to make it look horrible and they did amazing. They're outfits are fucking adorable, too.
I follow Noora and Petra (I think they're related?) on Instagram and they dress Himekaji and always look adorable.
>>8748501
Most of the original girls have grown up and moved on, though. At least Peach and Lime are still around, they've always been the best dancers.
When Meltia started I noticed people in our lolita community seemed interested in idol dances, so I tried to start up a group. Not as easy as you fucking think.
I didn't ask for dance experience but I did ask for motivation. I still had to practically drag people along to practice, even though it was only once every few weeks. The first three times about 6 out of 9 showed up (yes we did LL covers, among other things). Fourth time some unfortunate circumstances came together and only ONE other girl showed up. We still had to pay the rent for the practice space, of course. I was just so pissed that I called it quits after that.
We had the chance to perform at pretty big con and everything. Just... no one was motivated. Still mad. I just wanted to have fun dancing, I didn't even care that half of them sucked.
I was extra salty when I went to the con we could've performed at and there was a pretty great LL cover group performing one of my favourite dances. That could've been us, but they playin.
TL;DR only set up a dance group with people you know and are motivated.
>>8748936
Oh shit they're amazing!
Been watching so many dance videos lately. Here's a few of my favourites:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nit7CQqAeNA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS17tr2vuaM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cILtHbnrqk
No idea if these qualify as odottemita, but they're fun.
>>8749045
Noora and Petra are sisters! They have their own youtube channel separate from Hitode Army as well, I linked it upthread (>>8748901)
, but you can find it by searching "nicobot" on youtube. And yeah they're so goddamn cute! Last time I saw them at a con I was too spaghetti to even go say hi because I feel like I look like a potato compared to them.

>>8749088
I really like that last one, it's refreshing to have guys, and even just a mixed group, plus I like the casualness of their outfits.
My biggest complaint with western groups is that a lot of the girls seem so lanky and awkward with their bodies? Even if the dance is good they seem to hunch so much for some reason and it makes them look like they have scoliosis or something. >>8748936 look at the girl with the dark hair, it's like she's trying to hide her neck or something and it looks so weird.
Don't know if this would be ok to post here? But I just saw in the Texas thread that morning musume 16' is coming to AM?

Everyone in this is a hot mess. Omg.
>light blue chick doesn't even try
>green chick sucks in general
>purple asian is moving way too fast
>orange is about as lost as the green
>bright blue kind of has a normal idea whats going on
>the light pink twin tails is as good as the bright blue
>other light pink sucks
None of these girls are good besides the light pink twin tails and the bright blue. If the purple asian girl would slow the fuck down and not try to upstage the other girls, the whole thing wouldve at least had one person in front at all times who had an idea of what was going on.
>>8747807
the chubbiest of them reminds me of PT
the cringe
https://youtu.be/lOkYbot9DCI
>>8748371
wow this is stupid but I`m smiling
>>8748933
Agreed. I love twintails but you NEED a fringe, preferably a full, straight fringe, especially with side pieces.
Any advice for someone who wants to start filming dance covers? I know a few dances, so I'm not a total beginner or anything. But even though I practice in front of a mirror, I feel like I still look really clumsy on the occasions I've tried recording myself in the past.
>>8749477
Why do you want to start uploading dances?
>>8749477
Keep plenty of distance between yourself and the camera. Filming from up close looks weird and distorted. Keep the camera lower than eye level (chest or waist-level is good I guess).
An important part if you're recording is that you're not just going through the moves, you're performing, so expression is important too. Exaggerate this more than you think you should. It doesn't show up that big on screen, after all.
Apart from that, it just takes time to get used to the camera. Practice it a bunch of times. I'm sure it will get better the more you try it!
(I hate seeing myself on camera too, as much as I love dancing.)
>>8747811

>>8749597
>that not even trying vibe
Cringing so hard
>>8749380
They aren't bad dancers at all, most of the cringe comes from their hair. If they wore normal LL cosplay and wigs, this would be pretty cool.
>>8749484
I just think it'd be fun, honestly. I went through a try-hard net aidoru phase when I was like 15, and now that I've matured I just think it'd be a cool way to meet some new people, stay (at least somewhat) active, things like that. Plus, I feel like being comfortable on camera would help increase my confidence since I'm not great with it in general and it really shows in cosplay photos and the like.
>>8749584
Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely try to practice on camera a lot more and work on the things you mentioned!
>>8749631
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umkWqMqbFjQ
The fat chick really doesn't try at all. She's giving like no effort. I don't know if its because she is winded because she has no stamina and her lung capacity for dancing is terrible, or if she is just horrible in general. I'm going for the latter.
Odo-related YT tips:
>choose popular songs over popular dances
>make friends with vocaloid producers or other artists for easy, non-competitive shares
>it's better to get promoted by non-dancers
>choose songs that are hard for beginners to learn, either because there's no front-facing camera or there are gaps in choreo (fill them in yourself)
>good camera and a SIMPLE background are best. your body should be the main subject
>once you get mildly popular, host contests
>do requests
>specialize in teaching and tutorials if you don't want a creepy dude fan majority. dress less "kawaii" and wear more "practice wear"
And most importantly
>you don't have to be good, you just have to be better than everyone else
>>8749757

Thanks, anon! I especially love the coordinated outfits in the duo cover. Literally goals
Does it even count as a cover when all you do is pose for more than half of the video?
https://youtu.be/qWAOWiiajeA
>>8750682
With love live dances especially it's a bad idea to do solo covers by just mashing together the moves of whoever's singing the lead vocal at that moment, because those parts are always less intense than the background to allow the girls to actually sing. It would have been a lot better to do Kotori's part including her background dancing.
That being said, I guess it's possible to make something like that cute, but you have to be a lot sharper in your movements to make it work.
>>8750838
Makes me wish there were more solo dances for their solo songs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0tsGg91KAM

>>8751555
It's actually pretty good but
under 300 views
under 30 subscribers
Can someone say selfpost?
>>8751773
Mai is rather "popular" Finnish girl in Finnish boards... It's either her or her stalker fans.
>>8751784
yup, they just HAVE TO force her everywhere
>>8751555
selfpost or not she's good!
>>8752633
There's always still room for improvement. It's obvious she's had some forms of dance training. Most of the girls on YouTube haven't. I'd like her to work on her expressions. It's the main thing that separates good from great here.
Certainly there's potential, but all this self-posting leaves such a sour taste that I probably won't bother following her channel
I got really lit a couple nights ago and was rewatching Haruhi Suzumiya with my old weeb mates. it's been 9 years but we all still knew it
broken nose, lost pair of glasses, two faceplants
What were dancing gulls like when they first discovered odottemita? Did you quickly started uploading covers without overthinking them? What dances were popular when you first began?
I love watching dance videos but its usually disappointing. A lot of the time you have girls who learn a routine but never learned to dance. Groups are worse because there is poor coordination and no one to normalize their moves so you end up with people moving quicker than others and others kicking to high, etc.
>>8748523
>himezawa
I started laughing before I even clicked the link.
>>8754217
I feel you anon. It also bugs me when dancers have potential to get better but they refuse to take any dance lessons to help improve. I think groups would have more quality if they were dedicated and practiced more and not in it just to be kawai aidoru uguu desu
>>8748479
In her defense, very few odorite do Kozue's dances justice
>>8749081
Anon, I feel your pain on such a real level. Everyone always says they want to form a dance group until they have to actually practice or be motivated.
>>8749477
What >>8749584 said, make sure you're centered on the camera, your whole body is visible, and you're in a clean, well-lit area: the environment where you're dancing makes all the difference for how your dancing looks.
>>8751466
Me too, anon; I considered doing some cosplay cover dances of songs like S(mile)ing or Star, but haven't gotten around to it
>>8748465
i dont think these two are that bad of dancers, but the way they did this and the things they added in arent good
>>8748625
he still is.
Aoi has also really improved over the years; at the end of his Patchwork Staccato cover with K'suke they redid a part of a dance they did three years prior
>>8756024
well none really said they were bad, anon. However, their added dance moves that look a lot like something you would see in cheerleading aren’t appealing at all.
>>8754175
I didn't know odottemita was a thing when I first started.
I liked project diva dances, and most (...all) of the dance covers were pretty bad, so I borrowed a camera and learned a dance (Double Lariat) the next day.
People liked it and requested other covers, so I did those.
I actually aimed for unpopular songs since there's less reference material for those, and it helped other dancers out who needed front-facing camera/mirror versions.
No overthinking at all, but I didn't aim for kawaii performances, just supplying good reference material.
>>8748523
She's so bad.. :/ What is is with Western dancers and moving their bodies so awkwardly. And her body is not helping her at all.
>>8753300
Anon i feel you. I have those nights where i just go back to every weeb dance i did when i was 12. Its so hilarious and nostalgic.
>>8757183
It's not because their western. Most of the nico dancers that end up on youtube end up on youtube for being good. Many of the western girls haven't had formal dance training, and even if they had most of them haven't had the level that we as views have our standards set to. There are tons of western girls that can dance, but, unless they're into Japanese stuff, have no desire to dance to weeb stuff on the internet.
Basically a girl goes online, finds nothing but amazing covers thanks to the not so good ones never making it to youtube, and then underestimates the work it takes. But hey, everyone's gotta start somewhere.
>>8757583
This. People need to understand that the majority of odottemita dances from outside of Japan don’t have form of training and if they do, they don’t want to be a huge weeb on the internet. I'm pretty sure if they even start taking community center dance lessons, you probably will see improvement.
>>8757670
I keep telling people to do basic dance exercise to build a foundation but most of the people in these threads have the mind set of "I don't care I just want to have fun."
>>8757583
Even some of the nico dancers are worse than they seem at first glance. They're cute and peppy and thin and energetic, so unless you're looking for it you don't notice how wobbly they are. A lot of them don't have formal dance training either, they just hide it better.
lol

Thank you, anon!
Kaya is one of my favorite dancers because she is tall and skinny like me and still looks really cute.

I am in love
Anyone missing Oishii! Project ? I wonder if some girls are still active online !
>>8766073
I love this group's dances. What's their name?
>>8766164
I remember O!P tried to make a comback under a different group name but i guess it failed. I wish they could make a comeback and revive the net idol scene again. I miss those days...
>>8766194
The group is Guilty Hearts, though there are only three members now, Miume, Melochin and Ryo.
>>8766164
Some of them are still active in other group, 4 of the Oishii! Ichigo are in a group called 4te. Sneko is in a group called 2ne (which make me cringe because it looks like she stole the 4te concept a bit... )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyDl5Qz6ItQ
This was adorable. They'd make the cutest couple.
>>8748672
probably because she's actually working and making money off dancing in events rather than making pennies on YT lol
JFK shot first
I try this dance, but can't keep up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XvJYn7xuXs
https://youtu.be/lzPBjaTGXyc
I don't know how to feel about this. Everything about them is bad.
>>8778139
Why? Their movements are pretty sharp and while their dance skills are on a slightly different levels the dance still worked. And most important thing: They actually performed and not just danced through a choreography. I'm not saying they were super over-the-top good but saying that "everything about them is bad" is just baseless. Or am I missing something?
>>8778604
I agree, I've seen worse. They kept time well and they had a fair amount of body control (I half expected them to fall off time during the repeated kicks and was surprised when they kept in sync). It's about what I would expect out of an amateur group that put in some effort.
Bump for kawaii girls
>>8778139
To be honest. This dance is just horrible to begin with, even when the original group does it
>>8777101
Sara has such a nice flow, I just wish she'd wear cuter clothes since she's a really cute girl
>>8778139
Chick with the big fluffy tutu screams attention whore to me. How hard is to to keep a consistant uniformed outfit within the group?
Cringe or not? Left is hurting me inside.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_IiA3u_GQ4&ab_channel=ARA
Unrelated, I tried dancing a bit to a song and afterwards my knees and cnemis hurting like a bitch. Is that good?
>>8785072
Cringe because there dancing to vocaloid music at a school's multicultural fair while wearing a wa-lolita outfit. Otherwise, the dancing is decent and nothing to cringe about. I might recommend not taking such big steps, but it's ok.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Npjk7c9D5g
Post cringy anime club performances please. Was expecting shit with so many people dancing, but was pleasantly surprised. If only they were more in sync.
>>8785124
This is actually really good! I was quite surprised that it looked like the members knew what they were doing. Its hard getting a bunch of high school weebs together, stay dedicated to a dance routine, and make it look decent and clean. Props to them!
>>8785072
Bad..
Does anyone attend idol-related events/conventions like idol cafes and Idol Matsuri? What was it like? What kind of groups/soloist performed? Was is cringy?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObgJgA7GcC4
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>8785333
She is so fucking stiff and wobbly its sadly hilarious. Also, is it me or does she have her eyes close throughout the whole video? Poor girl.
Finally a decent LL group performance from Canada
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMIn9BGJuRE

Here is a more recent performance of that schools anime club from last year! They really have improved alot from the 2012 performance
>>8785356

>>8785072
In regards to your knees, were there jumps in the song? Non-dancers tend to come down from jumps on flat feet, which can fuck up your joints. You also just might not have warmed up enough.
>>8785333
>Just something I did for my school's talent show!
oh god no...
>>8785360
>japanese and anime club both in a multicultural fair
If you already have a performance showcasing Japanese culture, for what purpose does an anime club even serve there?
Any odorite here, what do you use for recording? Do you just use your laptop or do you have a camcorder set up?
>>8785596
Persoanlly, I had to use my phone this past summer due to forgetting my camera and I was impressed with the quality. Majority of the time I use a decent quality camcorder, but I'm thinking about switching over to my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
I wouldn't recommend using a pre-installed laptop webcam. They usually have low quality and can't capture all the movement. Plus it's annoying to take your laptop everywhere and run the risk of running out of battery during different takes.
The best way to go is a camcorder and tripod. It may take some time to adjust to so you can get your whole body into the shot, but it's worth it in the end.
>>8785596
You can get a tripod and a cheap point and shoot camera for about $50 on Amazon. You can spend more to get a better camera but for something like this it isn't really necessary. A more expensive point and shoot camera will have a better sensor for low-light conditions, optical zoom and anti-shake. However since you will probably be shooting in the daytime, and your camera will be in a fixed position with a tripod it isn't as necessary. Mark off your starting position and the camera with tape or chalk then do a test video. Adjust the positions until you're satisfied.
It's also useful to get one that takes batteries instead of a removable or fixed rechargeable battery pack. It may cost a little bit but AA/AAA are relatively cheap, easy to carry, and if you run out of power it only takes a few seconds to swap.
>>8785377
There are a few jumps in the song yes. I did try again, this time following the tip and warming up more, and I still get pain.
>>8785333
Christ Anon lmao. I needed that laugh. I feel bad for her though. She's going to live the rest of her school life having to answer "Aren't you that girl who did the anime dance that one time?"
>>8785350
Oh wow they're really cute! Not too shabby. Looks like they all know they dance pretty well too.
Niji Jidai is back and more cringy than before. Girl in fish nets makes me want to puke.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH8WFrJ3x3s
Apricot*, Wata and Yakko are my favorite Jdancers. I'm in love with their energy and natural smiles. Their videos cheer me up!
Does anyone know the name of a petite Jdancer who had very elegant moves prob. inspired by ballet or modern dance? She wore glasses like pic related in all of her videos, but I can't find her youtube channel anymore.
Idk the name of this kind of eyewear, but it gives the "anonymous"-effect
>>8786876
Whenever I see them posted here I just feel so sad.
I'm surprised to stumbled upon them though anon. They're obviously a very small group with no recognition.
Know any of them personally?
>>8787069
The two girls Atsu and Asupon live in NYC and try to force their way into any idol/anime related event to promote their group. They get rejected most of the time cause of the quality in dance and.. pretty sure because of how they look.
>>8787087
Atsu doesn't live in NYC. She lives in hick central PA from what I've heard.
Either way I haven't heard about any of that. Sure they're cringy, but I'd leave it at that.
Was there a certain event what you speak of happened at? Details?
>>8787026
That dancer is called Amayu (あまゆ) - she doesn't have a YouTube though. ^^'
>>8787311
Thank you! Ah maybe not, but someone reuploaded her dancing to youtube ehehe.... Thank you so much!

The dancing is good, but my ears hurt from that singing. I would have much preferred if she just used the original.
This group just uploaded their love live performance. Apparently one of the girls didn't feel like dancing it for a second time, so they put Genie in her place.
I still can't believe why they chose to upload this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fVF9PeUDls

Looks like a tiny ass con in some gymnasium with some people just having a good time. I got a good laugh just like the audience did.
Stay salty, anon.

>>8787969
I'm pretty sure her name is Yakko, though I might be wrong.
>>8748578
A couple of the girls are cute in the first one. Some over do it a bit though
>>8748592
Same anon. Same.
>>8785331
Don't waste money on Idol Matsuri. Organizer is a huge weeb that most likely pockets the money.
>>8787087
vendetta much? lol try to reasearch harder hun. Asupon lives in north carolina, atsu lives in pennsylvania. neither of them have tried to do anything "anime" related since the one year at animenext before performance based panels where banned. try harder next time.
>>8787069
i am one of them.
Considering putting a bunch of these dances together and doing them as a 45 minute workout
>>8788637
'Sup Jamie?
>>8788781
Dancing as a workout only works if you aren't already in the process of learning, since pausing to go back and learn the next steps make sessions deceptively long.
This is mostly for anyone else who's thinking the same thing, but consider loading up a playlist of Just Dance videos instead, since the dances have high movement and you learn them instantly. There are j-pop and k-pop versions, and probably other games.
Most people who use dance as a way of working out often cheat themselves with how much movement they're actually doing. It's why Zumba is popular. So just be careful about that.
https://vimeo.com/138941121
>original choreo
>>8789056
Its literally just jumping in place and spinning to the side every 4-6 seconds while doing the same basic hand movements...
>>8788961
and you are?
>>8787093
They may be talking about a failed "flash mob" that Niji Jidai offered to share a "live performance" permit (pay half of) with in New York around the time Morning Musume did their concert. The organizer was super salty.
>>8789401
How do you feel about being affiliated with them? Aren't you embarrassed by the quality they produce. You would be better off by yourself.
>>8789431
are you the person that used my real name? if so i ask again, you are?
>>8789056
Is this our new lolcow? I followed her on ig a while ago but never got the full picture...
Am I correct in assuming there would be nothing lulzy about her if she wasn't pretending to be a real idol while doing all this?
Also her legs make my legs hurt to look at. Some girls are just really unfortunately skinny.
>>8789457
Did you really self promote your own group? Which member are you?
https://youtu.be/9W3iAratOSw
>>8789461
Oh gosh no I am not a member at all I am a horrible dancer...
>>8789457
>>8789463
Newfag alert. We can tell this is self promotion. Just admit it already.
>>8789466
Haha totally a newfag to this section I normally just scroll... Nah I promise it's not me at all.
>>8789457
>michi project
>good
>:D
>cant even link
Which member are you?
>>8789450
we do it not for "efame" or anything. we do it for fun and because we love the music, love dancing and are a tight knit group of friends that all came together by our love of those things. thats why we do it. since "taiki bansei"was recorded (months ago, our mixer got really busy) we've had changes to the group and such, with emmy leaving and cracking down harder on getting things learned in time and correctly. hope that answers your question. :)
I was playing Persona 4: Dancing All Night and was thinking whether it would be a good start to practice solo dancing.

>>8789487
Why does one girl in your video wear fishnets and shit when no one else does?
>>8789507
Different anon, but also somewhat related. why don't you coordinate outfits that also look flattering on the dancer? Its pretty gross seeing fat almost burst out of that girls fishnet stuff..
>>8789507
we don't require members to buy certain clothes. its up to the member to decide what to wear. we give guidelines and thats it. like wearing your member color or generation color.
>>8789513
hi thats me and so glad you noticed. :) it'll really help me battle my eating disorder. should i make the bald spot from it more prominent? and as i said to the other anon, we don't require members to buy clothes for the dances.
>>8789527
Its fine that you do not require your dancers to buy special clothing, but you should really look into coordinating what you have for all members.
Also, that wont get you any sympathy or internet points. It doesn't exclude you for dressing decently and then expect everyone to give you asspats for it.
>>8789549
noone is expecting asspats just common courtesy. let's see you then?
>>8789563
Diff anon, but welcome to 4chan. Be careful before you become an lolcow.

>>8788631
>vendetta
>>8789527
Welcome to 4chan, hun.
>>8789501
Same, anon. I would say yes since its not the normal boring vocaloid songs and they're fairly easy to pick up (aside from maybe Yu and Yukiko? His hips are woah and hers are ballet/traditional based). I'm learning most of Chie's, Naoto's, and Marie's songs myself.
Go for it anon! Nanako's dances are pretty cute anyway. P4:DAN looks like "odottemita bait" anyway.
