Haven't seen any girls do it yet. The boys seem to take to it readily, though:

EDIT: Not fair. These are legitimate fan-performance clips. Sad

Wow, the song is good but I didn't realize it was that good. I love the dance moves for it, especially the expression on Kyon's face as he dances. Although I as well, prefer the opening theme.

There are sites that sell legitimate merchandise alongside bootlegs too, and they get blocked.

*prays that there are SOME girls that'll dance to it*

Never again I'll click on that streaming video link everyone knows about that has that dance with all guys (or worse that one British guy that's been circulating)! Mad


Where are the Bokuen Deshou Deshou videos? I'm tired of seeing that scary guy figure skate.

If I see another Hare Hare Yukai music video, I'm going to go mad. Unless it:

1) is the official PV
2) has actual girls in it [or better yet, all girls Razz]... Well, there was one that had one girl [she was supposedly Asahina or Nagato], but all the other performers were crossdressing guys, so she didn't get much recognition. :/

Maybe I should gather my ace gang and perform one [genders in thier right places of course].

Heh, just wait until people start making parody videos of the Mikurun movie.

Wow. I pre-ordered this CD on the 6th from CDJapan, and was worried when the shipping changed to 4-6 weeks on the release day, then I get home and find out it shipped.

woo. I'll let you know if it does have dance steps with it.

Same here, I'm beginning to think it's becoming some sort of an internet fad maybe?

OK, I'm at a loss for words now. The single's leapt up 16 spots on the daily charts up to no.2 (Link here if anyone's interested) Shocked Never underestimate otaku power, it seems.

I preordered this single as well. Like you, my cd order has shipped today and I am curious to find out if the dance steps are included with the cd. I'm probably going to laugh if they are.

There is also another Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu single that is going to be released on the June 21. This single will have the song "Koi no Mikuru Densetsu" on it. This is the hilarious song Mikuru sings at the beginning of that train wreck but funny student film from the very first episode. I will be pre-ordering this single as well. Not only just for Mikuru's ROTF perfomance, but also because I collect anime OST's and J-pop/J-Rock cd's and I'm a bit of a completionist when it comes to a to series I like.

Beam Attack!

Correction. Never underestimate Haruhi's will! Laughing

Anime dazed

That crappy ass song is going to be a single?!! Not that I'm surprised or anything. I wonder if it's going to use that remixed version some fan person made. Rolling Eyes

Sigh...okay, it's a well written song, but how can anyone listen to those cute-ified voices for extended periods?

Okay.... seriously, I really, REALLY doubt it's the song that's really so popular...

....it's the dance. Totally. It's aaallllll the dance. If you do not know what I mean, you will have to find an episode of the series and watch it for yourself. And then, perhaps, you will understand.
