Puffy Launches Tiktok Channel

Shows in the Twitter feed widget... Puffy has launched their Tiktok channel.  The first thing they have done is a "Sign of Love" aka "Ai no Shirushi" dance challenge.  I thought it would be a little cringe, but its actually fun and a crazy array of people doing it.  Quite a few are younger Japanese female acts, which is a nice nod to the now matriarchs of jpop.

I thought "Sign of Love" was a weird choice, its not the first Puffy song that leaps to mind but it is one with a MV that has a pretty coherent set of dance moves.  It is also dancing that is approachable as neither Ami or Yumi are dancers, so their routines as they have put it are choreographed for someone who might be drunk. 

Really enjoying that they are branching out and trying new things.

Nana Mori Covers "Ai no Shirushi"

What I like about Nana Mori's cover of "Ai no Shirushi" is that she keeps it sorta like Puffy's original.  The video is a fun take that is a bit silly and not at all serious, which is in tune with the Puffy original which had a slew of babies for some reason (cupid?)

 

Worth a listen, it is good stuff.
