Differently from earlier, today's Johnny's idols have the freedom of working and having activities in variety and casting but still, singing and dancing is essential.


 


It is said that in Johnny's dance lessons everyone starts from the very back of the row. They're not only dancing on their stage, the important part is that they also dance in BS programs and as back up dancers in their senior's concerts. In the concert there are a lot of Johnny's Jr. who turn in a circle as if surrounding. There are groups of veterans from middle school but there are also kids who are still in primary school, who dance on the wide stage and hype it up. If you compare with their seniors they're still so so but their strong point is that they acquire the feeling of performing on stage from an early age. In the beginning of the lessons there is a rule that the people who are good are called to come to the front. Johnny's talents who have lived through that are on a significant level of dancing.


 


Has Arashi become popular with Ohno's dancing?


According to "Why has Arashi become the strongest entertainment group?", in an questionnaire done by magazine "Orisuta" in 2014 Arashi was chosen as number one in the category of "I want to receive dance lessons from this artist".


 


As expected of a group popular enough to be called "national idols", there are expectations for them to be superior and even if compared to other groups, their dancing is on a high level. The key man is the leader, Satoshi Ohno. Even on curated sites, there a lot of articles dedicated to Ohno's dancing, and the attention is not limited to Johnny's fans. In the above-mentioned publications, it was explained about Ohno in that way.

It's not limited to Ohno, as there are a lot of talents who are good at dancing. V6's Sakamoto Masayuki starred in Broadway musical "Never Gonna Dance" in 2005. This work is the stage version of film "Swing Time". In charge of choreography for the Japanese version was broadway actress Noah Lacy and Sakamoto, who's dancing ability has been recognised, was selected to play a role in the play. Keeping up with such a senior is a struggle for the juniors.


 


The ability of Tsubasa Imai, who acquired training oversees


Tackey & Tsubasa's Tsubasa Imai has the experience of training abroad. He learned dance in New York and had flamenco training in Spain. His dancing abilities are recognised as he has performed as a guest on "Burn the Floor's", the top performance group, stage in Japan. Imai has performed in "PLAYZONE" and has left for training in America together with Johnny's Yara Tomoyuki. He's also active as stage and dance choreographer.






During Tackey & Tsubasa's concerts, fans match the music and dance the choreography together. And it's not only one song, it's many. It can be said that catchy music that's easy to get familiar with is the characteristic of Tackey & Tsubasa, in addition to having the sense of unity in the venue, just simply enjoying singing and dancing is a new discovery.


 


The greatness of Johhny's superb performances are a little difficult to describe to people who don't watch stage plays or concerts. Without being bound to the image, it would be good if the attention was focused of the basis of idols, signing and dancing. Why have Johhny's talents gained popularity? You might catch a glimpse of the reasons.
