Dance moves/poses - Retro or Hip-hop style

[aly2.livejournal.com]

Hey fellow Arashi fans,

My class is preparing a small dance item incorporating various forms of dance. And we're supposed to think of some unique hip-hop or retro moves. And I thought that perhaps I could look to Arashi for some inspiration. Did Arashi have any dance moves related to hip-hop or retro? I know they did the diving action for hadashi.... and I can't seem to recall anything remotely hip-hop. Could you help me if you know of any such moves? Especially poses =) Thanks a ton!

i guess 'all or nothing' might help? or 'a day in our life', i don't remember if they dance in that video but they did have a hip-hop theme for the video

Oooh! I shall check out these two videos. Their song sounds kinda hip-hoppish =) Thanks!

This is not hip-hop, but it may be something you will like.

it's not with all members, but I guess what matters is the dance, right? ^^

Hope it helps! =D

wow...i have never seen that b4, but totally reminds me of micheal jackson! lol
do you know what it was for?

[ltsukino.livejournal.com]

Yes, he's MJ after all..xD
hum, not really, sorry. I just know that Ohno also did a project like that, but with capoeira. At the time I found that I remember asking about that and I think they were the only ones who did it, but for what I can't remember...=/

Wow! I totally forgot about this... I remember watching this video before. Thanks =)

Was it for 24hour tv?

it's in the all or nothing dvd, they all had to improve/learn smt, ohno learnt capoeira, jun improved dance, aiba was playing sax (but then he had that accident) sho-chan improved his rapping skills, nino went on a journey or smt like that ... to... find himself? XD

Ohno's solo "Top Secret" kind of falls under hip-hop. (He does a lot of pop-and-lock, but some of it is also really smooth.) You can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNKhjCv9xzM

Hope that helps!

I love Ohno's dancing.... but I can never ever master that technique :(

[aly2.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks =)

[imthelonely-one.livejournal.com]

"top secret" is about as hip-hop dance-wise as you'll get, especially during the interlude.

[yoopichan.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I agree with this one. Crazy Moon has a street, hip-hop feel to it. :)

Especially, the part where Sho dances first, then here comes Jun, then Nino, then Aiba and Ohno.

[aly2.livejournal.com]

I'm using some of the hand movements and the leg movements. But it's soooo fast :(

[badluckmonday.livejournal.com]

Hmm idk if it really counts as hip-hop, but I really love Ohno's choreography for Love Situaion.

How about Yes?No?

It's on Dailymotion I think, but not sure :D

I like the dance and song ♥ I don't know what exactly Hip Hop or Retro is so please look it up :D

[hannahsmeep.livejournal.com]

I think "Right back to you" is quite hip hoppish except the bridge where they do the funny swaying moves XD

[matsujunlover1.livejournal.com]

Either Crazy Moon or a song like that, or Sho's solo Anti Anti. It was all about showing that Johnny's could do hip hop too. Idk if that what you're looking for tho. Gambatte!

[mhuyhen.livejournal.com]

all sho's solos are hiphop. ops,not the whole arashi though. but he still counts. hehe... *sho-biased*

[aly2.livejournal.com]

Do you have any video on Sho's solos? Thanks!

[mhuyhen.livejournal.com]

just check this out

then just browse on the other related vids w/ his solos

i think you better look for their 2003 concert "how's it going?". they have a special retro dance portion there, which includes their dance steps for nice na kokoroiki ans shinchousa no nai koibito. i'm not quite sure where you can get the video though =)

they did hiphop but old school hiphop like the pop-lock dance, they've been doing it since A.RA.SHI up to Crazy Moon.. watch their 5x10 concert the crazy moon part. :)

hope i was able to help you. I'll try to recall all other dance arashi did, because Im actually crazy about their dance steps :)) hahaha

hi :) i used to do hiphop/rnb/street-dancing but i've stopped now. but these are my recommendations based on experience:

anything Ohno-related is close to hip hop :
TOP SECRET (this is the best one in my opinion!) .
song for me
take me far away

other recommendations:
crazy moon
anti anti
i want somebody
gimmick game
Pika*nchi (Aiba's 5x10 concert choreo)
Tomadoinagara (Sho's 5x10 concert choreo)

hope these help :)

Hip Pop Boogie? He does a bit of locking & stuff in it. And possibly some top rock but I don't exactly remember.
