today my new conjecture is that japanese calisthenics might have had an influence on J-POP DANCING!
i noticed some similarities between the videos of lovely, dainty japanese calisthenics, and the delightful underaged children’s j-pop of C-UTE. it appeared to me as if there were just too many moves which could be interpreted as very vigorous, extreme versions of these exercises for children. so…. could this have also contributed to the popularity of j-pop dancing? or have i gone insane from watching too many videos?
