ANIME song DJ culture

Began around ten years ago and the probably started because a lot of DJ's

That we're into other kinda music like techno house

They are happen to be ANIME fans and they do realize that they could take

to the music that they like from their own ANIME and actually

Mix it the same way to the did for other music and that's how it started

and then it's the only kept growing and growing and now especially because

number of ANIME has been growing there are more and more songs to use

and so this culture has grown in depth

in terms of the themes that it addresses and the different kinds of parties not

only just general ANIME , there are

classics there are some special

DJ parties that are dealing with a particular ANIME or ANIME genre

So that the variety and the interest of these different kinds of

parties are only growing

They're hit on stage to the lovers of the genre

At every events are these light sticks

Some OTAKU love them so much

They have utility belts displaying extraordinary color

Disposable sticks are a couple hundred yen

There are more expensive

LED battery powered ones that really radiate color

It's an essential tool for an after hours OTAKU

For beginner like me

It's easy to start off

The light sticks are used for OTAGEI dancing

and each song has its own moves

This is my first time to doing OTAGEI , and I don't even know how to do it!

There seems to be a lot of coordinated moves

I had one that was snappy stick or something

Well, that's gone out so it's good to have one with a battery in it

like a lot of other people

There seems to be a lot of OTAGEI going on! Gotta get back to it!

Many moves have name like thunder snake

PPP H, Wolverine and matrix

I need a little practice

So let's go see a pro in action

This is Oshiri

To enter set she puts down the DJ headphones

and picks up the mike

It's the trademark of a real idol

It'a an ability to sing and dance away from the DJ units
