Partly inspired by my previous article on Naomi Chiaki's(ちあきなおみ)"Waltz"(円舞曲)and also thinking it would be nice to begin the work week with something a little different, I've opted to complete my Monday entries with some of the dance-titled kayo kyoku and J-Pop out there since it seems as if the Japanese also enjoyed cutting a rug if vicariously for most people.
(1948) Shizuko Kasagi -- Tokyo Boogie-Woogie (東京ブギウギ)
(1987) Akina Nakamori -- Tango Noir
(1986) Yasuhiro Abe -- Tennessee Waltz (テネシーワルツ)
(1981) Hiromi Go -- Oyome Samba (お嫁サンバ)
(1961) Sachiko Nishida -- Coffee Rumba (コーヒー・ルンバ)
I love to see videos of people trying to dance to some of these songs as a few them are rather fast paced.
ReplyDeleteHello, Brian. There's been one lady in New York City who's been dancing to City Pop for a few years.
