Japan is certainly no stranger to viral dance videos and one doesn¡¯t have to think too far back to recall the popularity of the koi (falling in love) dance routine that took the internet by storm last year.
Popularized by TV drama ¡°Nigeru wa Hajidaga Yaku ni Tatsu¡± (roughly translated as ¡°Running Away is Shameful but Useful¡°), the quirky routine even prompted employees at U.S. government agencies in Japan to air their own winter holiday version featuring then-U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy.
While such viral dance routines are nothing new, internet users have recently shown a fondness for videos that tap into cross-generational influences.
