I listen to music all the time, and one of my favorite things to do is watch music videos while I’m working. During all these years of watching Jpop videos on youtube I’ve found an amazing amount of dance covers for a lot of songs, specially Hatsune Miku songs and I’m subscribed to a bunch of channels of these girls that I like. This genre of videos are known as Odottemita (踊ってみた) literally “tried to dance” and the girls and boys doing those dances are known as Odorite (踊り手).
