同じ時給で働く友達の美人ママ (Dance Cover) Trivia

– As I said in the video description, I’ve been meaning to do this dance since the song came out. I had originally wanted to keep up with S/mileage’s dances since they were brand new around the time I started dancing. … I failed miserably. XD

– This video marks the return of my Markerphone (as previously seen in “Koi no Vacance” and… was that it?!)! XDD

– You can see that I look a bit red throughout the video… that’s a combination of a whole bunch of takes and an increase in the video’s saturation. XD

– For the hip shaking parts, I would always move my heels as well, even though they usually just moved their hips. I tried to remedy that, but you can still see me moving my heels quite a lot.

– Even though I did a ton of takes for this one, I ended up having a lot of fun with this dance each time. I think all the punching and jumping added to the fun~. =D I may have added too much energy to parts. XD

– One move in particular I didn’t even notice until after I had already done four or five takes; it was the arm twirl around 0:31 (and subsequent parts). Thankfully, I was able to add remember it and add it in without any problems~.

– The hopping during the chorus made my left foot (that is, my bad foot) twinge every once in a while. (^_^”)>

– Those shorts are perhaps the most comfortable shorts ever. I also have a green pair~. =D

– The blue sweatshirt that I’m wearing in this had sleeves that were a little too tight so that I couldn’t really roll them up… so I cut slits in them. ^_^

– The blue bow I’m wearing was the same one I had for my dance cover of “School Days” waaaay back in 2010.

– I had wanted to have all of my hair up in a clip, but all of the hopping and jumping kept making it fall out, so I only put a small section of it up.

– Around 2:23, when my hair is flying all over the place, including in my face, I make a stupid, scrunched up face as I try to shake the hair away. XD

– I followed all of the members at one point or another: Kanon for the main dance; Ayacho’s “じゃん!” jump; Yuuka’s monologue; and Saki’s kick at the end.

– I kind of fail super-terribly at dances that require microphone usage. I want both of my hands to be doing something. orz

– I think I’ve mentioned it a billion times, but I love spoken parts in songs~. I’m able to recite all of the spoken lines in this song. =D

– There are two parts of this dance that I don’t like: the knee-bending move during Kanon’s monologue (which is why I chose her part in the first place; that move just looks so incredibly stupid to me XD), and the very end where the music starts up again for a little bit. (By the way, sorry for the dumb look on my face during that last part and the very, very end. XDD)

– Editing was (as it has been of late) a bit of a nightmare. I had to use my old computer because the straight split line was too obvious. However, my old computer has an incredible slowdown when I try editing clips (probably because they’re higher quality clips), so it takes forever to make everything line up. orz I apologize for the very slight offset at times. m(_ _)m (Edit: Ah, lovely. Watching it on YouTube, it looks like they offset it even more. Blargh. (-_-“))

– I was going to add a border to this video (just a simple one: a few blue lines going across the top and bottom), but it would have dropped the quality even more, so I decided against it. I’m still kind of worried that this one will be a big disappointment visually compared to the background I had for my last dance. (^_^”)>

– I didn’t practice this one quite as long as I usually do before filming it… maybe it came to me a little easier since I more-or-less learned it a few years ago…?

I guess that’s all for this one~. Thank you for watching and reading!
