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. :)

Update 28/3/25: Unfortunately, several of 2X2X's videos have been removed or made private. I'll update this if they ever upload them again.

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. 

Note: Video removed. :(

(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?

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo), ...

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

20th Anniversary of Mariah's The Emancipation of Mimi Album- Part 1

My favourite singer Mariah Carey is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of her 10th studio album The Emancipation of Mimi. It was released back in April 2005. I'd planned to write just one post about the album but it was turning into a really long one, so I've decided to divide it into two parts! Here is Part 1. :) The Emancipation of Mimi (or TEOM for short!) was considered Mariah's "comeback album" at the time, following on from her previous two albums, Glitter (2001) which was accompanied by the film of the same name and Charmbracelet (2002). Neither the Glitter movie or album were very well received and after going through a difficult time in general, Mariah had an emotional and physical breakdown and checked into hospital that summer. She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder , although didn't feel ready to speak about it pubicly until several years later .  Although Charmbracelet (MC's first release after leaving Virgin Records America and singing w...
