J-pop in Public Dances (2023)

I've previously written a couple of posts sharing J-pop in Public (dance covers of Japanese songs performed in public places) videos. You can see them at the links below:

I did also do a post featuring dance covers of Japanese girl group XG's songs in March. They are sometimes listed as Dance in Public though, since their songs have been mostly in English so far. See it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/03/dance-in-public-xg.html

I've featured K-pop in Public (Korean dance covers) more often because there are more of them. So I thought today it would be good to share some new J-pop in Public covers. :)


[J-POP IN PUBLIC TIMES SQUARE] STAYC- POPPY Dance Cover- Harmonyc Movement

First up is a dance cover of POPPY by STAYC. They are a Korean girl group but also release Japanese versions of their music (as quite a few K-pop groups do). The single came out last November. 

The cover is performed by American dance group Harmonyc Movement and the video was uploaded in January. It was filmed in Times Square in New York. The dancers are Mi as Seeun, Vanessa as Sumin, Olivia as Sieun, Vivian as Isa, Ka-Shya as Yoon and Leah as J.

Next is a cover of Under the skin, the debut single  by Japanese boy band &TEAM, which was released in November. 

The cover is performed by dancers from DOC Studios PH, a dance studio based in the Philippines. It was founded by Maritoni Aldonza, who started out as K-pop cover dancer and is now a choreographer and performer.  

The performance took place in Ayala Malls in Manila Bay (Korea Town) and features dancers  RIyurii as EJ, Sam (Fuma), Jacob (K), Paul (Nicholas), studio founder Maritoni as Yuma, Carlos (Jo), Miggy (Harua), Akie (Taki) and Drey (Maki). The video was uploaded in February.

The video (which was uploaded in May) is a one-take, meaning it was shot all in one go. The dancers are Wanwan as Jurin, Yulia as Chisa,  Beca as Hinata, Chloe as Harvey, 11 as Juria, cici as Maya and y as Cocona.

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).

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
