J-pop in Public Dances

When I did my K-pop Music and Dance Round-up post in September I mentioned that I was going to have a look for some J-pop in Public videos. If you don't know, K-pop in Public is the title of videos featuring dance covers of K-pop songs. If you search on YouTube, you can find many videos listed. 

J-pop in Public (dancing to Japanese songs) does not appear to be as popular, but I found a few that I'm sharing today! :)


(J-POP IN PUBLIC JAPAN) (Daichi Miura) FEVER Dance Cover by 2X2X

First up is a dance cover of Daichi Miura's 2015 song FEVER by 2X2X. They are a 5 member boys dance group from Japan who perform J-pop and K-pop covers. The members are IORI, II, RYUKU, MASAHIRO and TAKERU.

The boys are performing in Shibuya (a district in Tokyo) and the video was uploaded in August. 

Note: Avex videos (or ones containing their music) are blocked from being shown on third party applications. If you click on the video, you can watch it fine on YouTube. :)

JO1 'REAL' dance cover by 2X2X

Here is another dance cover by 2X2X. This one is to the single Real (released in July) by boyband JO1. This video is from September and was filmed in Shinjuku.

(JPOP IN PUBLIC) TWICE 'Perfect World' OT9 Ver- Hush Boston

Now for the girls! This is a dance cover of Perfect World, the title single from by Korean girl group TWICE's 3rd Japanese album, released in June. It's performed by HUSH CREW, a dance group based in Boston and LA that mainly does K-pop covers. 

The dancers are Kim, Josh, Will, Bela, Aaliyah, Nikki, Daphne, Celena and Sophia.  This is 0T9 version which I think means with all 9 members. In July I featured a dance cover of the OT9 version of I CAN'T STOP ME.

(JPOP IN PUBLIC)- Gokuraku Jodo- Biaz

Here is a dance cover of Gokuraku Jodo by pop rock duo GARNiDELIA. The dance is performed by Biaz, a K-pop cover dance group from Taiwan. Their name originates from the K-pop term "Bias".

While they mainly dance to Korean music, on this occasion they covered a J-pop song. The dancers are Nanase, Xian and Yuka, and the video was uploaded in April.

Hope you like the post! :) I plan to do more J-pop in Public posts in future. And probably some more belly dance ones. I hadn't been very inspired lately, but I went to a metal fusion belly dance workshop with Lianna Greene today (the first one I'd done since the start of the pandemic)! It's been good to get back to dancing more lately.

Do you have any favourite J-pop cover dance groups?

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences.  The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the

Debut XG Mini Album

Japanese girl group XG have released their 1st mini album. It's called NEW DNA and was released on 27th September. XG (whose name is short for Xtraordinary Girls) made their debut in March last year and have brought out 7 singles so far- Tippy Toes, MASCARA, LEFT RIGHT/SHOOTING STAR double single), GVRL GANG , TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. The first 3 songs (or 4 including the double single) aren't on the mini album. The concept behind NEW DNA is that of being a "new species" free from conventions and limitations .  Although the group is Japanese, their creation was inspired by Korean music and they are based in South Korea. They have released songs in English so far and have been described as a global group and "X-pop". NEW DNA consists of 6 tracks- HESONO, X-GENE, GVRL GANG, TGIF, NEW DANCE and PUPPET SHOW. It is an R'n'B/pop mini album with influences from other genres, such as K-pop, dance and hip hop. My favourite song is PUPPET SHOW. I al
