What’s your purpose as a YouTube dancer?
Note: This article relates to YouTubers who do dance covers to Asian Pop.
After reading Nia’s Wonderland post about YouTube idols, I felt that I should write a similar article regarding the topic. But then the article developed observation of people who do dance covers and the – let’s say – typical issues with it.
We all fit into the fandom in our own ways because of our participation in the fandom. I find that blogging and doing dance covers is something that I have become accustomed to, dancing especially. However because of my growing responsibilities with family and university, I’ve had less time to learn and have fun doing dances. In my absence, I started viewing other YouTube dancers, subscribed to a few and left some advice. But I’m always so conflicted whenever I watch a dance cover whether they should be fun or whether people actually care about improving their skills.
Resolutions and Hopes for 2013
Gorgeous girls! Sad there won’t be a comeback of theirs in 2013 ;__;
Did you guys have a nice New Years? My annual report has been completed thanks to WordPress. I think it’s pretty cute so I wanted to share it with you all! After taking a look at Nia’s Hope and Dreams for 2013, I thought I would do my own plus share with you all my New Year Resolutions since we are all in the new year now.
Best & Worst of 2012: End of Year Review
A fan’s knowledge of Japanese idols and the music industry
It’s been a while since I made a post revolving around Japanese idols, no?
How much do anyone of us actually know? When I asked this to myself the other day, I noticed how little I know about what goes on in Japan compared to Korea. In my opinion, it is good to know about the industry and it’s background as a fan. You can be aware of what goes on behind the scenes and understand how the music industry works more. Just to say, I know nothing about traditional music but I do think it is beautiful when I listen to it.
So let’s take a look and see.
Reina takes her leave to her new band
I had another post ready for something else but that can wait. Tanaka Reina is graduating from Morning Musume!
Another Yossi and Platinum Era member is leaving. Honestly, was I the only one who was not shocked? She was never one of my favourites but we should have been prepared for this when the band auditions were announced. Man, the H!P fandom seem to be taking a loss out of this.
Colourful Era > Platinum Era
[This was written before Oda Sakura's addition] Even though I’m always more involved in the K-Pop community in London, I’ve been listening to more Japanese music preferably Hello!Project. And Hello!Project has been improving with the results showing in sales. Most importantly, the current era of Morning Musume – the Colourful Era – is looking to do much better than the Platinum era.
Oda Sakura: It’s a 1-nin gen AGAIN!!
At the 15th anniversary concert: Mizuki has brown hair as well! YES. She is looking good.
I’m going to be honest: I did not watch a single video or update on the 11th gen auditions. Too lazy to do it and plus I have other things to do but upon watching Oda Sakura’s video clip of her being accepted into Morning Musume by Tsunku and evaulating her skills, I was impressed. But I really thought that video was going to show us the 6 finalists and clips of them singing and dancing, oh my Japanese fails.
Dance Collabs
For the time being until I write my next editioral or rants, I thought I’d show you some of the latest dance collabs I’ve been doing for the past few months since I last posted about dance covers. Hope you can watch them and comment!
