(Artist) Dance*Man

[Jabronisaur]

         

                 
Remixing classic 70's disco anthems into modern hip tracks, this Funkadelic artist has created a unique niche for himself in the J-music scene. Morning Musume fans may remember his chart breaking entrance as the chief groove maker on "Love Machine". Since then he's laid the funk down for other MM tracks from 3rd Love to 4th いきまっしょい!
I highly recommend his retro,groovy remakes.
Here are a few of my faves:
ＬＡ☆ＢＯＯＯ
つながってるよ　ＦＵＮＫ
バスタオル舞うお風呂
No its not Hammertime!



Be sure to check out his website and blog:  http://danceman.jp/index.html


This thread is mainly for Happ. Not only is he a role model for aspiring pervs everywhere, but he's also the only other person I ever met online who apparently admits to liking Dance*Man as well.

1) Jab, please marry me! 

2) What is not to be loved about a Wacky-Funky tall japanese guy with fake chest hair and wearing an afro ??? 


Sadly, i barely have any related media to share the love, and i still have to start collecting original albums & DVD's from the DANCE☆MAN... 

I mostly check his online TV-channel sometimes : http://danceman.tv/

I'll post the few things i have tomorrow!

  The video to "Ore wa Beatmania! Omae wa nani mania?" from IIDX Happy Sky there is all you really need to see for him.  It has turntables, afros, and even a cat with an afro scratching on a turntable.

OMG...I'm instantly an addict. I second what Happosai said.
He's right up there with Hard Gay.

[bloo_pie]

yay, DANCE MAN.  i found his Greatest Hits album a while ago. good stuff.

he needs to do stuff for H!P again. the last time we saw him was what, Suggoi Nakama?

[Happosai]

...he needs to do stuff for H!P again. the last time we saw him was what, Suggoi Nakama?

Yeah, that's the last one he worked on for H!P... However, he did a shitload of other re-arranging/re-mixing stuff for many other bands. 

[StreakInTheSky]

Dance Man is the shit. Sucks he stopped doing stuff for H!P, he arranged their best stuff. I know that if he ever does a song for them again, it'll be an instant hit.

Uploaded "Greatest Hits" in case anyone missed the torrent.

Download, and be sure to do it soon cause the link will expire if inactive for 7 days  >_>

[Jabronisaur]

Woot! Thanks Thatguy. Lets kick this thread FUNKEH

[Happosai]

Yeah! Thanks for posting all the stuff, guys! 

Here's a few more things.

Those are "samples" videos (about 2mn long) that Sadude used in a couple of Sim files for Stepmania:
DANCE☆MAN - Dance Bu Buchou Nanbara <--- Cover of "Boogie Wonderland" - Live with THE BANDMAN! 
DANCE☆MAN - Henna Adana wa Iya <--- Cover of "Relight My Fire" - PV

Those are the full MP3 versions of the two tracks featuring DANCE☆MAN from BeatMania IIDX Happy Sky:

DANCE☆MAN feat.Disっ娘 - We are Diskko Yottsu Uchi Inochi
DANCE☆MAN - Ore wa Beatmania! Omae wa Nanimania?


  NYA~OW!

Could you please reup the Greatest Hits?  Thanks.

I can't read Japanese, but it seems he may have a new cd coming out. If it is, then I'm so looking forward to this.
