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.

[JPOP IN PUBLIC] &TEAM 'Under the skin'  Dance Cover |Philippines [DOC Studios]

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.

Finally, here is another XG dance cover, this time by 11YiYi a Chinese dancer who is now based in London and other dancers. The song covered is the girl group's single LEFT RIGHT, which was released in January, along with SHOOTING STAR. 

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). I had previously heard the D...

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) 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 Pushpha 2...
