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. :)

(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 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?
