I came across their dance scene in Yoyogi Park when out for a walk on New Years Day. It looked like they were making some sort of cosplay dance movie or maybe rehearsing for one.

The rhythm beat was quite catchy. My niece who was with me starting dancing to the music and got most of their moves down quickly.

The group at the front seemed the best rehearsed. Not sure if the guys at the back forgot their costumes or just joined in when seeing it.

That looks like a Rilakkuma suit.

Lots of different moves to remember.

More people in costumes here. Looks like they had plenty of participants.

You can see the camera they have set up to tape the scene.

It would be great to see them perform this dance on the Shibuya Scramble Crossing one day. Sort of an impromptu performance like the ones below.

or you could go solo as the Dancing Stormtrooper aka Danny Choo does

Would you be keen to do a dance in the middle of Shibuya Scramble Crossing?

  1. Nice discovery and nice pictures, and your niece looks funny imitating them.

  2. >.< One of my wish is to see this at Akiba, but a park dance is good as well.

  3. Your niece is quite kawaii and very photogenic. Looks like she caught on very quick.

    What a great way to start off 2010 :) Great photos of your niece and the great photos of Cos Players in the park. It would be neat to see that in Akiba that would be the perfect spot for it.
    On a side note, I was watching the J-drama Boss, and at the end of the 1st.ep I reconized they used the sculpter that you photographed in the park story you did previously. It was the one w/the hole in the middle. I said to myself , I’ve seen that before…
    Thanks for all the stories and photos you’ve shown us. It’s a real pleasure to be a part of this community of your side of the world. hopefully i will be able to get there, and meet up.
    Ja mata ne. :)
