[Random] Akkanbe :P!
It's not much of a secret -- for some reason, I really like J-idol music. The cuter, the better? XD;
The latest <3? Watarirouka Hashiritai's "Akkanbe Bashi."
This is a sub-unit from the larger entity of AKB48 - which was originally 4 members, but recently expanded to 5.
Yes, it's a children's folk song and the accompanying dance is really cute.
In fact, the participants at the end of each dance cycle end with either a bow and a shrug or an "akkanbe" - a :P face and a pull of your lower eyelid - and a cheer... denoting their like or indifference to their partner. (BTW - "akkanbe" signals your like for your partner.)
You can watch the dance shot here~ :D
There's actually a number of releases for this particular single -- one even goes step by step to show the dance moves. :O
I'd love to see this performed at some large event like a convention. Kawaii Kon anyone? XD
Watashi wa sore o hijō ni suki desu! And I also like the "random" posts very much. I've found a new favorite J-idol group!! :3
