Part 1-the evolution

I couldn't think of a cool title, so I decided to give it like a james bond feel..

Anyways I've decided to kick off a new series. I guess it's a promotion series. My intent is to find some of the best Hello! Project/JPOP dancers on youtube and critique them.

And so, to kick of the series, I'm going to show you one of my personal favorites.

Kokoro no Tamago- MajikuruMaChan2

Kokoro no Tamago is not necessarily a hard dance, it's just a lot of memorization and good choregraphy that makes it look good. A lot of people would look silly to attempt this dance. However, Majorie does a great job in learning the steps; and learning them well.

One thing I like is how she seems extremely comfortable doing this dance. Her facial expression is never showing boredom or extreme concentration. She's always smiling and singing(mouthing?) along and making the dance very fun to watch. That is one thing that I don't like to see in about 90% of the other dancers on youtube. Their faces are monotone and kills the overall performance.

The moves have been memorized extremely well. Majorie does not try to make the dance different and I am in extreme favour of that. I do not like it when some dancers put videos of themselves up but the dances are not memorized that well, or they try to make it their own.

One thing I suggest however is to choose one person to be, unless it is a dance that would clearly look bad if you only did one part (ie tokaikko). In this video, she seemed to alternate (seemed to, I'm not exactly sure) in the verses between all of the members. If that can even be considered a flaw, it would be the only flaw in this dance. (ftr, I do not consider it a flaw...)

Good job majorie, I hope to see even more great dances in the future.
