Dance Kayo by J-Canuck

 

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.

  1. I love to see videos of people trying to dance to some of these songs as a few them are rather fast paced.

    1. Hello, Brian. There's been one lady in New York City who's been dancing to City Pop for a few years.
