Lovely Vocaloid

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
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.
A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

This time, I’m going to introduce some Vocaloid dance tunes!

In many MVs, you’ll see Vocaloid characters dancing, and there are even dances like wotagei.

These days, there are even dance battles held to Vocaloid tracks, and Vocaloid is treated as dance music.

I’ll be showcasing a bunch of Vocaloid songs that let you ride the beat and enjoy dancing!

Depending on the song, there may be official choreography, and many tracks have original routines with “Odotte Mita” (I tried dancing) posts—so be sure to check them out and give it a try!

You’ll definitely have a blast getting into the groove!
