That's why the majority of Odottemita use facemaks. You can find a few that are cute for pretty cheap, and they're really helpful, even if you're just worried your face would be doing weird stuff while you dance.

W-what are some search terms if I want to learn how to do these dances? I know nearly nothing about these weeaboo things since I never watched more than 3 episodes of 3 different animes...
I don't wanna upload them, I just want something cute to exercise too and hopefully learn some dancing coordination...

> "Title of anime" plus " op" or "ed" plus "dance"
Usually something will come up even if its fanmade - some better than others.

Best to start will Vocaloid since the dances tend to be cute then look in the suggested videos and branch out. Ririri (i think is her name) does a whole manner of dances that are good for exercise and since all the dancers like her being in their videos, you'll find a lot more things in her suggestions including more dancers with more/different songs.

Good luck on your endeavor. If you'd like I can also drop a few dancers that post regularly so you have your pick of the litter.

Niji dancers.
Group of weebo/itas

The leader has destroyed most evidence after realizing how bad they were. My friend told me they were going to join this group at one point.

Apparently everyone picked a color and would buy eBay/milanoo/body line dresses in those colors.
They only did anime music and spammed love and joy a lot

I saw rainbow bubble and then this post and had to talk about the group and their leader I'm assuming.

The chemistry between these girls are horrible. Their leader is a total bitch to the other members. I see her sconstantly belittling and putting down the other members and even their volunteers.

Tl;dr: Bad leader. Fix your attitude toward others, especially your members, if your reading this sweetie.

Also, their group says there culturally diverse? Yet almost all their members excluding probably one of them is half or full japanese. All of them are some sort of Asian descent by the way. Not to pull a race card, but I see nothing culturally diverse if everyone is half asian half japanese. I don't know how else to explain this without being offensive.

To all idol and dance cover groups: please go for quality over quantity. It doesn't matter how long it takes to learn a dance together with your members, all that counts is the quality of performance. People will remember and know you more for your quality of performance than how many songs you perform.

The leader is Chinese. Rainbow Bubble used to have a few black girls but I haven't seen them around recently. They either quit or the leader forgot about them since NEW Rainbow Bubble is all Asian girls now. She used to have more non-Asian "understudies" but she probably forgot about them too. Nowadays, every time I see her, she's advertising her shitty store.

Those black girls were really pretty and good dancers as well. I didnt see the need to get rid of them. They could classify as "culturally diverse" if they kept them.

If I remember right, don't they use the store funds to make money for the group as well? Not really the best way to make money in my opinion. Just get a normal job and schedule around it or talk to your managers that you also have other comittments and see if they can work a schedule.

A few of them have regular jobs in between their gigs and rehearsals, but I'm convinced Hitomi straight up wants to dance, model, and resell Taobao for the rest of her life.

Wow the second dance is so cute!

But I wonder how many groups outside of Japan (and China I guess) can put together a nine person team like this. In the West it seems like a struggle to get a few dancers together in the same place. Unless you live in a populated area I suppose, but then it's slim pickings even among anime fans.

Might be best if Western groups stick to things other than Love Live! or do the sub unit songs.

It is pretty hard when there's a good number of people that claim that they're pretty uncoordinated to dance. Though, I know me and my friends are planning to do the same dance in the post. At least attempt to learn it. 2 of us have been learning dances for quite a while while the others are pretty new. Though, they're pretty eager to learn.

I always feel like a lack of places to practice is another reason why Western groups have a hard time doing coordinated dances like Love Live.

No yeah, unless you're a pro with extensive breathing training, trying to sing while dancing is a no-go. Even the *actual* LL! girls don't sound that great in concert because they're trying to balance dancing and singing. I've seen that second vid before though, and I really love it, it looks so nice and polished.

Yoooo this looks so pro-mode for a fanmade thing. Bonus points for doing A-Rise, I never see covers of their stuff.

Yeah, the thing is, people expect just solo practicing will suffice, when that's almost never the case. Especially for big group numbers like in LL!, you really need to have practices to work out everyone's spacing.

Rainbow bubble is a bunch of wanna be jpop groups forcing themselves to be "guests" at cons. I saw them at a con up north of NY and it was a joke.

I'm gonna hope English isn't your first language because if not, the education system you were placed in failed you tremendously

Ok getting back to the point, you're full of shit. Does she have traits of "want it become a idol in Japan"? Yeah, in that she's odottemita, but that's it. Many other gaijin odottemita girls do things to pander to an audience (i.e. keekihime, aminyan, yukapon) to try and grab a following by using a cutesy voice, pet names, special quirks/outfits, but Kelsey does none of that, and relies on her personality while being candidly herself in her videos. If she "tries too hard", that's because she gives her all in her videos and during lives, since she's naturally very high energy.

Also the English in >>8340854 is really fluent, while yours is shit. Either you're lying about being the same person or someone hit you over the head with a brick in between posts.

As someone who grew up and currently teaches dancing :

If you can't carry a beat, don't try to dance, you'll only embarass yourself and your teammates.

If you can't keep face while you dance, git gud. Don't wear a stupid fucking mask.

Don't be afraid to coach members if they're not good - they might just need some one-on-one with someone who's more skilled to show them the right way to do it

You'll benefit from having a 'leader' who's more experienced with dance and who can teach everyone the proper steps rather than "okay here's the youtibe video, everyone go home and learn it."

Pick costumes that are actually practical for dance. Petticoats are not practical for dance. Anything that can't be washed easily is not practical for dance. Shoes with heels are usually not practical for dance.

Don't sing and dance at the same time, if need be have some people stand still and sing while others dance. Switch off if you want to, but don't do both at once.

Always make sure to have dress rehearsal at least one week before your event.

You should also tell them dancing to choreography is for people who have a solid foundation.

A dancer's foundation is the basics of the basics. A foundation consists of various simple steps/moves done repetitively until mastery.

Choreography is a set of moves with transitions. If a dancer does not have a solid foundation and flexible muscle shapen to perfection through years of training, then the choreography cover is just going to be cringe.

This happens too much in Idol dancing where people just flat out had no training what so ever.

Son I don't know what vendetta you have against her but she doesn't come off that way at all.
She's fairly polite, dances well, does her own thing. Sure she's a bit cringey but her strength is in the fact that she isn't trying to be a kawaii uguu moeblob, she's obviously more into the Harajuku stuff and it shows. Iirc she really loves Kyary and Kpop.

Compare that to Abipop or whoever else and you can see the difference. I do think some of her stuff is kinda cringey, like the English versions of Kpop/Jpop songs or her original stuff but otherwise I don't get the hate she gets.

I especially don't get the people who project the shit out of their insecurities onto Youtubers and make them out to be Literally Hitler, like people having a massive hateboner for Venus and Kelsey and Abi whilst having no problem with Japanese dancers who are just as bad.

To be fair, idol dancing doesn't really use much of the foundations of classical dance training.

Though just repeating steps together will get everyone on the same page. Learning steps first and then adding arms when everyone has those down pat is always a good strategy.

I coach a competitive majorette team and we drill the entire routine, then add dance steps, and then add baton in last. It's a pretty solid way to learn an entire song, even for the girls who don't have previous dance experience.

I think the biggest key is that if nobody in the group is a dancer, it's going to be pretty difficult to get everyone else to learn it. One dancer can share her skills, no dancers have nothing.

> Shoes with heels not practical. Don't wear anything hard to wash.
Kek. So do you actually dance or just teach dance? From the get go I've been taught to dance on my toes for ballroom/pole dancing to simulate heels later and by god it has saved my life. Not even gonna go into the 90% of jpop/kpop dancers that do. Then you've got ballet en pointe for some really hard shit. I'm sorely disappointed when people doing covers to the usual sexy or cute dances and don't wear heels.

> If you can't carry a beat don't try to dance.
Or learn how to carry a beat? It's not that hard...

Some people are incapable of carrying beats, and someone with no prior dance experience is not going to be able to just throw on heels and go at it. The advice is for beginners, not people who are taught how to ballroom or pole dance. Any newbie who just tosses on platform heels (like an awful lot of idols wear) is going to break their ankles. I'd rather see a girl wear flat shoes and dance than break her ankles trying to wear heels.

The first post that mentioned the masks specifically mentioned not being able to not make a stupid face.

Those specific dances, however, are definitely not for beginners anyway and would take a lot of stamina. It'd be less about hard work and more about athleticism and prior dance background.

My college has a kpop/jpop dance club. The governing board is actually fairly complex since we perform at every asian-related event on campus. We have multiple huge dance rooms with mirrors in the gym rented out more days out of the week than fewer. It's pretty sweet.

It's mostly kpop but there have been Vocaloid and AKB before. I know people will say it sounds cringe because "it's college" but there is some real talent there (not me though lol I'm usually in the Tempura Kidz-tier dances)

Being a nitpick here, but I honestly don't like it when people cover k-pop. We're already surrounded by the k-pop boom and seeing idols and cover groups perform more k-pop than jpop doesn't make them unique or interesting.

The fact is that jpop just doesn't have as complicated of dances, ESPECIALLY for groups. Kpop usually has formations and differences in the dance for each person or part of the stage. It is more "western" than jpop.

I'm this anon and I would love to do more jpop but the fact remains. We struggle to find jpop dances with formations so we end up covering japanese versions of originally korean songs. We did do C-ute last year though and E-girls is always on the list of choices

On top of all that, the dance really looks unenthusiastic in some parts? That might just be me though.

I'm pretty jealous though. Asian countries, the people that watch the dances and all that are so enthusiastic compared to the ones in the US. Though, that whole business isn't something the US hasn't really gotten into.

They all look like they learned the dance separately too. Nobody's in sync, they all look like they're in their own little world and completely oblivious to each other. Group energy is completely absent and it shows in their lack of enthusiasm.
They also need to smile more and give better expressions, when you look at their faces all you can see is the gears turning in their heads as they try to remember the next move.
And when it comes to cosplaying the characters who are singing the song, mouthing along to the words doesn't hurt either.

I can agree with you, even as someone who does have a fetish for animu idols dressed in KPOP choreo outfits. I do find the whole KPOP and Wota culture to be oil and water. But it's hard to find JPOP online so people turned to KPOP for accessibility.

>>Kek. So do you actually dance or just teach dance? From the get go I've been taught to dance on my toes for ballroom/pole dancing to simulate heels later and by god it has saved my life. Not even gonna go into the 90% of jpop/kpop dancers that do. Then you've got ballet en pointe for some really hard shit. I'm sorely disappointed when people doing covers to the usual sexy or cute dances and don't wear heels.

diff anon i just love someone whose extent of dancing is the old fat girl standbys of ballroom and pole dancing actually trying to lecture someone who has spent their whole life dancing and is now a teacher. fatty please. there's a difference to choreographed dancing and you bashing around a pole.

the kinds of heels real dancers use would be far closer to something like jazz heels or character shoes and even then a bunch of sweaty weeaboos would be better off sticking to the basics and going for some nice canvas flats

Nice try anon. Pole dance is choreographed too idgit - in fact the kind using taller heels is usually more dance centred since larger heels would interfere too much with more advanced tricks. Although you do have me on the small jazz heels for ballroom - they're not exactly towering but my point was simply that heels =/= bad for dancing.

Its really easy to get a group of nine for love live, but when it comes to an actual dance group most people arent up for dancing.

I know i would LOVE to do a dance cover for LL and perform but Im the type that needs to be lead step by step and I have to practice for ridiculous amounts of time for one dance. While others can learn it and perform it by just watching dance covers a couple of times.

Also a lot of effort is needed to have a good performance. Meeting up and communicating with each other to practice is vital and sometimes the commitment is tiring and when people dont really know or like each other in the first place it makes it even harder.

Oh yeah! I actually know this dance and put it in the voting polls that helps gauge interest on which songs we wanna do for the semester. It never gets anywhere close to being chosen though since if it isn't kpop, no one gives it a watch.

I'm on the governing board though now so maybe I can make it happen. Two other Japanese dances I try for since they're more like what the rest of club wants is Pomp and Circumstance and Cellphone Paranoia Girl (both vocaloid).

There's been a slump in choreo anyway. Voca concerts haven't had any new dances, and most of the idol shows coming out have been group-focused. I've been keeping an eye out, though, primarily on concert choreo. I'm really glad that my past stuff has been useful, in any case.

Questions are fine and dandy! But yeah, remembering dances. Not many. The way I did it was like cramming for an exam. You just barf it out on camera, and then instantly forget it. I remember some of my favorites, but that's about it. If I was going to learn it for a convention or performance, then I'd go the ol' fashion way.

I tried learning as many dances as possible for teaching material and MMD. I never had plans to perform any as repeats. Being an idoru doesn't really appeal to me. I'd love to choreograph for a jpop team sometime though.

I saw them live at a local con once
I didn't hear them sing as I was out of the room and only joined for the final song, which was Susume --> Tomorrow.

Either these girls need serious voice training or should just not sing
Maybe they could at least lay off the voices? I get that it's part of what makes maid cafe's what they are and it completes the act when it's done well but when it's not done well, it fucks it up a bit.

I also wish the tsundere girl, even though part of the act, would look like she enjoys herself. It just makes it kind of depressing and she could just change the character to be tsundere but dancing is her hidden passion or something?

They're actually pretty good and I've probably just got a lot of salt up my cunt but I do get peeves with this kind of thing.

I used to like both Abipop and Kelsey but honestly lately they've turned into massive snowflakes.

I can't believe people donated up to £100 towards Kelsey's new laptop. Ofc people can do what they want with their money, but she couldn't borrow a laptop in the meantime? Why did she need it in a week? Why is she choosing a Mac if she is so desperate, when PC is cheaper? Why a gaming laptop, which are overpowered for what she is going to use it for? This on top of getting the newest Canon DSLR recently and shopping in Japan. Its disappointing because I genuinely like their work but this is ridiculous.

Having the camera obviously on the floor in front was a bad idea, they're all preforming downwards so thy look hunched.

They're also off beat and some of those moves are fucking awful when a real-life person does them. Sometimes accuracy should be compromised for appeal IMO.

Anyways I was a J-pop summit 2014 finalist (worst performer) but still let me leave my 2 cents. As it stand I absolutely hate "idol" dancing. At first niconico odottemita consisted of street dancers or just a bunch of dudes screwing around. Tadanon, Takuma, Nyantaro, etc. are perfect examples of this. Miume as well most of her earlier works were street dancing but then things started to become more extravagant. Costumes, high production values etc. Honestly I just don't like this sort of thing. It no longer has that street feeling to it or freedom. I tried to show what it means to be a street dancer instead of an "idol" dancer but I failed horribly with my bad performance. Another thing I really dislike about choreographed dancing is that people jump straight into choreography without a foundation (dance basics). If you attend any dance class the teacher will always teach you the basic steps and have you repeat those steps. This forms great muscle memory, flexibility, and develop good habits. Even on the street there are different styles such as house, pop&lock, break, etc. and each style has their own foundation along with people to teach you the basics. This is just not present in choreographed dancing. Going straight into choreograph (especially in "idol" dancing) means you're bombarded with a set of advance moves and combinations that has no school of style. This leads to bad habits and deteriorate growth. I did jump straight into choreography and honestly wish I learned my basics beforehand because I feel like I wasted a year or two on choreography.

I actually see that a lot. Half the dancers I've filmed went straight into Choreo without learning any basics or foundations. What ends up happening... is that it looks bad on camera. Especially so with my gear - there is only so much editing I could do to hide deficiencies.

As for the Tokyo dancers - who tend to be the more famous of the odorites - a lot of them used to just film at Yoyogi Park all the time for fun. Many of them have moved into making it their profession - which means in order to make money, they're dancing in events. They're B-List celebs in Japan now. Their success has even ended up creating a "Dance Label" called ODOROOM - and the production values go up because that is what draws viewers these days.

With that said, sometimes what looks like high production value is actually not that high. The "idol" dancing such as stuff from Idolmaster and Love Live is what is hot right now. These set rooms they film in a lot of times are rent-a-rooms that Cosplayers tend to rent in Japan. Heck, Aikatsu has actually taken some Vocaloid producers (PandaBoy, fu_mou) in to help produce some of their newest songs.

There are still many though who dance on the street - it's just harder to come up now. BTW, it's still a mystery why Nyantaro has disappeared, even two years after he has left. We'll likely never know.

I did some snooping around NND and found a video where someone recorded him (without him knowing) dancing recently in a public place. From the comments I gathered that he borrowed money from people and didn't pay them back so instead disappeared.

You sure that's Nyantaro? That sounds more like aniM@S who did the same thing and people went after DO@RAT because of it (it also caused her to temporarily disappear as well). Thats also why 2D-CHOMPLE! broke up because literally aniM@S disappeared to avoid paying back his debts.

Then again, something like that happening again wouldn't surprise me.

Off the mark. We're all SoCal (Jyuke included), and Hinamori is NorCal. It's rare when dancers move to the other side of California (such as friskie going to college in SoCal but is from NorCal - and vice versa for Ryan Hsu who is from SoCal but goes to NorCal for college.)

Actually, the only dancers I know who move between both sides of the state fairly often and easily is Mirai Stars (Shiawase Cos + Ichigogo Cos) and Angel Hearts.

BTW, apparently Angel Hearts is performing *somewhere* at AX this year.

Angel Hearts has actually been improving a ton since they've started, and all of the girls make their own costumes, which always look nicely sewn. I think my only nitpick is most of them look really old, or are bit pudgy for the characters they're portraying.

They dropped the terrible Haruka they had for their Im@s routines, and they're mostly solid. The only members who are still really awkward are the Yayoi and the Makoto. Not sure if it's a practice thing, but I just don't think they're cut out for dancing.

I use two Sony DSLRs, a a55 and a a57. Though, I've been wanting to replace my a55 for a while now since it has a bad habit of overheating only after filming for 15-30 minutes. In shots I use multi-angles, the image difference is noticeable and it annoys me to no end.

As for your camera, all you have to do is put your video settings to the max, and run it through a decent video editor that won't trash the quality. First step is simple enough, but the second one can be hard to find or very pricey (or leave you resorting to being a pirate. Yar!)

>>8399967
>>8400043
The lurker from /p/ is right. You'd think it'd be as easy as you say, but a lot of times when I watch videos of newcomers coming up -- they're framing is terrible because they don't check their framing.

And it gets exponentially harder with the more people in frame. The more people in frame, the more the camera moves back - the more you need to make the music louder so that it picks up on camera AND for the dancers to hear.

BTW, for those that want advice on framing -- buy a big stuffed animal - set that guy as the center of your frame. Make the adjustments you need to, then move the guy and keep your frame in mind. If even that is too hard to do, do what a lot of pros (even people like Melochin & Miume) use - tape. Specifically, painters tape so that it comes off easy when you are done.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 13 15:29:12 2015 No.8400070 >>8400061 What about ISO, Aperature, and Shutter Speed? Films require a high ISO because there is constant motion right? But then higher ISO cuases it to be more grainy. Any tips on these settings?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 13 15:43:06 2015 No.8400086 >>8399957 Which sister are you?

AnimeGamer Sat Jun 13 16:40:29 2015 No.8400208

>>8400070
You can throw Shutter Speed and Aperture out the window with video since that only affects the photo side of things. What you would want to pay attention to instead is your video quality settings such as if frame rate (30fps or 60fps, if higher then you have way more money then me) and video resolution (minimum you want is 720p to get HD quality.)

Additionally, you also want to pay attention to where your camera is focusing in on -- and if need be, change your focusing settings to manual. While it's nice to get a good "bokeh" effect with fixed focal lenses (like the 35mm that is pretty standard for dance covers) - it does you no good if your shot ends up out of focus and blurry. So before shooting, I recommend checking your focus settings after your finish your framing.

With ISO, you want to keep your ISO down as much as possible. That means using your exposure if control light as much as possible, and understanding where you are filming at to see where your light sources are from. That's particularly important if you are shooting at night (ex - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6J1C4DjHww)) - you definitely want to be as near to as many light sources as possible (or, bring some that are bright enough if you can afford to.) Also keep in mind that lights come in different colors - which can affect your video. Moving the ISO higher should be the absolute last thing you should do because you want to avoid your shots becoming grainy as much as possible.

I'm guessing it's you that's always posting them in the cringe threads and such as you seem to really have something against them.

I don't like them, they really piss me off. But that still doesn't give me the right to slate them here. They have improved heaps since they started and they're far from the worse dance groups here in the UK. Since Amelia joined they've come on leaps and bounds since as Alice has had to step up her game and actually work to be the 'cute' one in the group.

You're going to dance in the hallway?
As a dancer myself it can go good or bad.
You will for a fact get stares and looks.
How you interpret it is up to your mindset.
Take it with a grain of salt and analyze how your performance went.
For me personally I fell under pressure and heavly crtisized myself for months and years. (I cry when I'm alone.)
So keep a positive mindset, fuck the haters, you're still learning.
But don't be a shitter and think you're super kawaii when in fact you suck.
Just find the right balance of positive criticism so that you can learn and improve without a mental break down.

yeah thats true, they still need a lot of work at being in time with music and each other. And they should match their clothes because they look kinda stupid with two matching and one not.
