Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Matsuken Samba II by Ken Matsudaira

The so-called “Matsuken Samba” comes in Parts 1 through 3, and the one that became a huge breakout hit is Matsuken Samba II.

The public was utterly astonished by the gap between the image of a classic, distinguished actor who plays the righteous, rampaging shogun and his cheerful performance singing samba with a totally different vibe.

Let’s all wave our glittery decorative batons and dance to Matsuken Samba II! Even the scary department manager and the unapproachable senior will be smiling once they get into the samba rhythm.

Be sure to have some sparkly party goods ready.
