Who says that Japanese people can only perform traditional Bon dance? There are plenty of cool performers in Japan!
Tomioka Senior High School gained international fame with their brilliant “Bubbly Dance.” Their performance caught the attention of foreign TV shows, and their video has already garnered over five million views.
The Bubbly Dance was created for high school students, and the performers dance to upbeat music in perfect synchronization. The song “Dancing Hero” was popular during Japan’s Showa Bubble Economy era (1985-1990), a time when young women wore dresses and hairstyles in a unique one-length style. The 25-year-old coach who created the dance, along with the high school students, have no firsthand knowledge of that era—this was long before their time.
For those who remember the Bubble Economy, their dance brings back nostalgic memories. On the other hand, for younger generations who weren’t around during that “crazy” period, the dance might feel completely fresh and new.
Let’s see and enjoy “Bubbly Dance” !
