I did a little desk research and found out that these kids are led by a lady dancer named Moga. They are members of a dance studio called BEAT SURF Tendo in Yamagata, Japan! I read that "MOGA is known for taking her form of 'Soul & Waacking', which is a fusion of a style of dance which originated from the 1970’s TV show, “Soul Train”, and blended with a form of street dance called waacking"... Music flows from humanity and yet transcends humanity's frailties. Love, love, love this!
As a black man born in the Caribbean, raised in the USA, living in Canada...I've noticed one thing, music brings us together. Look at this group and how they flow to the music, it's in their soul. This was amazing to see...thank you for this.
not really, all they do is imitate us. Its how they get the comments like yours, and attention. Everything beautiful and perfect and original is from us.
@@Rememberwhatyouknow cultural exchange and appreciation enriches us all. It happens because art is valuable and lives by being experienced. When it stops being experienced it dies. Long live art.
Oh yes! James Brown would have TOTALLY been floored seeing this. Imagine somehow he saw it back in his day? I mean it was “taboo” for black people to move like this, seeing a group of Asian WOMEN would have blown his mind .. I think even now up in funk heaven he is seeing this & going “YASSS that’s what’s up! Whoo” hehe😆 Such fabulus choreography, but only pulled off by these phenomenal movers and shakers💃 I liked your comment, so I hope you don’t mind me nattering away🫣☺️🙋♀️
Incredible! James Brown would’ve been impressed. Perfect blend of cultures, peoples, movement n’ sound. Incredible dancers and choreography, looking forward to seeing more.
@@dizzowthis IS James Brown, lol, I know MY OWN PEOPLE “music” and it’s from a African American aka Black American. Don’t EVER speak for MY PEOPLE and end up making YOURSELF look like a clown, lol… In the future know the HISTORY of African American.
I'm 68 and I go back to my preteen years jamming 🎶 with James Brown. The led dancer in front is so silky smooth, that I can't stop looking at her flow in order to see everyone else. WOW !!!! I've fallen and I can't get up. As James Brown would say , Somebody help me now !!!
Oh I love you guys SOOOO much! I watch it whenever I need a quick bit of cheer and that has to be a gazillion times! I scrolled through the responses here and I'm not alone in that value. Thank you for adding some love to this planet!
A keen since of rythem translates into any culture...I grew up on this music and preferred it because I loved dancing and appreciated a strong beat 💓 I'm 68 now and still love it.
As a black american woman who grew up listening to James Brown, I LOVE THIS!! I appreciate that these dancers put every ounce of their heart and soul into this. We really are all one love. More of humanity just needs to realize it. ♥️
Why qualify your self as a black American woman? I'm not black and I'm not a women I'm A human of this planet that grew up rocking to James Brown! All good music transcends time colour and gender.
@@seamoreplant As a child, we were not exposed to other ethnicities who listened to soul music...hence, my beginning statement. In the area I grew up in, anything pertaining to black people in the 60s-70s wasn't celebrated openly. Certainly I'm not a child now and thankfully times have changed. It helps to have an open mind.
Gosh, this group is so crisp and smooth..absolutely beautiful to see a group like this dance to a legendary singer...awesome.. the girl in yellow pants is simply a delight to watch...
Our hats are off to you Moga_Almeri. Simply exquisite. All of the dancers are excellent and did a magnificent job, but I must say the young lady in the yellow pants was so good, she seemed almost to be having an out-of-body experience. You can't fake that kind of pure joy. Wonderful to watch.
Let me just say this! The swag, the funkiness, the flow, I don't care how much a person can do isolation choreography and precision but this is what I love seeing in dance the movement, flow, swag that makes you want to join in and move.. They got everything it looks like someone been watching 70s soul train video lol..Kpop idols your turn....
My cousin sent me the short clip when it first came out. I searched high and low for this full version. Have lost count of the number of times that I’ve watched it. It is absolutely brilliant, the fusion and the laidback choreography which looks so effortless until you actually try doing it. Moga A, thank you for this.
Finally this is surfacing with more complete footage and credit/context. This is one of the best things I’ve seen in my life; I wish this longer video was the one that went viral.
Now THIS is cultural appreciation done right- no appropriation here! It warms my heart to see such talent used to highlight my culture. Y'all did the dang thang.
UNTIL THEY TELL YOU IT CAME FROM THEM FIRST I DONT CARE PEOPLE LISTEN TO OUR MUSIC DANCE TO OUR MUSIC WOULD IS THE PROBLEM IS WHEN THEY NEVER HONOR THE ORIGINS AND THE TRUTH OF WHO WHERE WHAT WHEN AND WHY OF THE MELANITE CULTURE OF WHERE ALL MUSIC ORIGINATED ALL DANCE INCLUDING THE RIVER DANCE COME STRAIGHT FROM ABORIGINAL INDIGENOUS EUMELANITES
you are being racist just saying this. So you are give these Asian dancers permission, or your approval to dance to James Brown? Nobody cares. Woke Westerners, what a joke. On there way to extinction.
- "Never seen such fluid movement, improvisation and synchronicity...." Except towards the end the video is completely out of sync with the sound - I hope I'm not the only one of the 3,000 commenters who noticed it. As a consequence, the dancers aren't dancing to the rhythm during much of the video. It's a shame, because the dancing is superb and the choreography refreshingly different. It tells something about the quality of the choreography and the dancers that I still greatly enjoyed the video despite the above mentioned problem (which you don't often see on today's UA-cam dance videos).
@@adoatero5129 Aight Terence Fletcher😂 so what if it aint your tempo. The whole style here is fluidity and weirdness. The dance moves arent rigid and perfect, they are chaotic and flowy. If they're slightly off beat it actually adds to the overall performance since it emphasises the weird lanky moves. Regardless they're out there dancin and expressing themselves artistically, what does a benchwarmer like yourself sitting on the sidlines know about what they're performing. If you're the 1 out of 3,000 commentors who thinks something is off i hate to break it to you.....but statistically the problem is you😂😂
@@brentrebrab You misunderstood my comment pretty much completely, and as a consequence your comment is pretty much completely off. I wrote "the video is out of sync with the sound" and "dancing is superb". Which part of those sentences don't you understand? I don't know how to say those things more clearly. Is my English a problem? (I'm not a native speaker). I'll try again slowly: I... wasn't... criticizing... the... dancers. I... pointed... out... that... the... video (what you see)... and the sound (what you hear)... are not in sync (growingly towards the end of the video). It's of course not a problem with dancing. The sound also isn't "slightly off beat". At the beginning of the video it is fully in sync, but towards the end rhythm is off a half beat (it couldn’t be off more). It's kind of cute that you think that the erroneous sound track somehow belongs to the dancing or the choreography, but of course it doesn't. It's just an editing mistake. What probably happened is that someone was given the job to replace the original music track (which consists of the music that was played through speakers in the dancing studio during the performance) with a better sounding track (a studio recording). Unfortunately the two pieces of music played at different speeds. The person who did the editing perhaps watched only the beginning of the end result, and didn't notice that the sound goes more and more off sync towards the end of the video. - “If you're the 1 out of 3,000 commentors who thinks something is off…” I’m pretty sure you didn’t read even one tenth of those comments, but correct me if I’m wrong. Anyway, I don’t “think” something is off. I know it is. I’m pretty sure that if you read my explanation above with thought, and watch the video with that explanation in your mind, you too will notice how the sound gradually goes fully off sync towards the end of the video. I suggest that you try to see and hear it, and come back to tell me whether you do or not. Remember: on my original comment I didn’t say one word about the dancing or the choreography being anything but superb. I only wrote about an editing error with the sound track.
Not only can I see the soul in their dance, I can witness every beat and instrument in their moves as well. Its not just dancing to the music, its dancing in it. Absolutely love this.
The first time I saw this, I couldn't help but hurt myself trying to copy their moves. I'm not exactly young anymore. But, I was born at a nexus that allowed me to experience the music and, dance of multiple generations. I can safely say that this is some of the grooviest, funk out there. Keep on keepin' on!
OHHH My Goooodness, I am impressed. The Song choice, The Dancers and Praise to the Choreographer. This was a great move from a great team. Funk, Fire, Framework.....
I can't get enough of these dancers. I've watched this many times already. I've always known the soul that has flowed from Japan through Jazz, but this is a bonus.
To me as a black man watching this in a world filled with so much hate. I want to say thank you to everyone that danced their hearts out in this video. You can see that they were happy, having fun, and that is what's important here. We are the human race. If the music moves you. It shouldn't matter who's singing it. Just enjoy yourself like James Brown would say. Love this. Totally amazing.
That was purely beautiful! Smooth. Flowing. Seemingly effortless. I couldn't watch with my eyes, my heart and soul had to take over! Even when on their own stream, they were one heart, gently beating to the rhythm of Gaia, and all life everywhere. ♡
This is the epitome of perfection that the godfather of soul demanded. James Brown is looking down with a huge smile. The sister in the yellow pants is so smooth it's like she has no bones. She flows like silk.
I am an Afrophile, Hispanophile and Hellenophile and Anglophile when it comes to dancing and music. Always have been impressed by music and dance at crossroads. James Brown has always made my body unable to stand still. So the music in this is a solid A. However, the woman in the yellow pants is hauntingly awesome. I have been mesmerized by Bob Fosse, Gwen Verdon, K Dunham, Sammy Davis, Gregory Hines, The Soul Train dancers and even Mick Jagger's choreathetotic movements. This woman supersedes all those images in my memory with "WOW". Amazing
These awesome dancers not only danced independently of each other, but also danced in sync with each other, now that's talent, this was so mesmerizing and captivating, especially the girl in the yellow pants, she was absolutely crisp and fluid and on point, she definitely has natural soul, and that is not to take away from the other dancers, but the girl in the yellow pants was swinging her arms and popping her hips and swaying her legs with such timing and soul I just couldn't keep my eyes off of her
To use a 70s phrase, "You ain't never lied." Man there wasn't nothing like a stack of albums and just dancing in the basement, somebody barbecuing, sweating,just having fun 😁 These kids just sent me back in time 💯
The choreography perfect. But also the costumes beautifully define the dancers blend of their Asian culture and 70’s black urban soul. James Brown would be proud of his influence around the world on the urban modern dance scene. Excellent representation thank you for posting this.
Not so fast.. there dance is a mixture of asian precision culture. Don't let the James Brown music fool you. NOT THE REAL SOUL TRAIN DANCERS DEAL. I do like the choreography 👍
My parents turn 70 this year. I grew up listening to this, lol. It's great to see other cultures appreciating Black American culture and music, especially the positive kind.
Gaaaahd-daaaaaum! I don't even know where to start with this! Hard to say which is better, the choreography or the execution. And yellow pants, especially, but they were all great, individually and as an ensemble. This is the kind of thing that lifts the spirit! To high heaven!
The fusion the girl in the yellow pants gave was perfect you can feel the black American culture and the Asian culture in all her moves she switches from soul to traditional Asian seamlessly. Beautiful simply Beautiful.
I grew up listening to JB. And this dance crew really does his music extreme justice. I love the individuality, yet everyone is still on beat. Reminds me of some of the party’s I went to back then. WELL DONE!!!
It's about time Asian women are represented in these dances. As a Caribbean female, I absolutely welcome their platform!!! Please keep it coming, ladies. Every culture has its sexiness, bring it ladies!
Excellent choreography, excellent rebirth of the 1970s. My my my, they deserve an award, all of them. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 18th December 2023.
Can not stop watching this. It is so awesome to watch. Everyone dancing is so good. The choreography is great!. Some of those moves I have never seen before. WOW!
I am totally elated to see dancing to this magnitude. I am so proud of this dancing troupe. James Brown would have loved to have seen this. This is so dope!!!!
They Rockin that Soul Train Style all day long! 70’s was the best!!💃🏽🕺🏾 Music transcends all boarders and nationalities. This is a beautiful tribute to the Godfather of Soul and those who played an instrumental role in that era of Black music and dancing !
I lived/grew up in the hood all of my youth, Harlem and Brooklyn, I grew up in the 70s, Yellow pants and the posse definitely got my respect, They are talented, And their energy is amazing, Golf clap to the ladies, They nailed it yo!😺 👍👍👍✅💯😎🐼
This is excellent. Every move goes perfectly with the beat and words. I especially loved the part when their arms are moving wildly to “highhhher”. Their clothes are oddly retro and new at the same time-love the colors.
The young lady in yellow pants nailed it. Beautiful movements There's choreography, then there's choreography; there's soul, then there's soul; there's groove, then there's groove ; there's dance then there's this. There's wow, then there's WOW! Spellbound by this clip

This is great tribute to being black in the face of racism and all other atrocities against ppl of color
James Brown know that his music gives energy. That was the reason why he created a certain way.
No he would have said, “not such a bad imitation, but an imitation no less,next”
Absolutely well said 👍⭐
The girl in the yellow pants is insane. She hits every move so hard. That last spin transition thingamajig they did was so clean

You should see the Black people they stole it from
THIS NEVER GETS OLD...EVER!!!
I agree.
x2
I was ABSOLUTELY IMPRESSED!! This chorography was so smooth and seamless, just the flow of it how in sync they were. Just awesome! BRAVO!!!!
I can watch this every day and not get tired!!!
MUSIC AND DANCE IS THE GREAT SOCIAL EQUALIZER ❤💯
Will neeeeeeeever get tired of this!!!!! They killed it!!
I want to see so much more of this group! Their UA-cam channel had several videos but just two performances like this one. I want more! 😍
I'm 68 and I go back to my preteen years jamming 🎶 with James Brown. The led dancer in front is so silky smooth, that I can't stop looking at her flow in order to see everyone else. WOW !!!! I've fallen and I can't get up. As James Brown would say , Somebody help me now !!!
Bruh she didn’t miss a step!!! 😮
Cant nobody stop looking at her smooth ass. Why is she not plastered all over every TV, billboard, meme, all over the world?!! THAT is talent.
All of these dancers are great and some absolutely masterful. But somehow the lead dancer in yellow is on an even higher level that’s hypnotic.
Maceo... help me get up!
I feel the same way! Incredibly funky music with dancing to match. So fun to watch, over and over.......can't get enough of it!
Oh I love you guys SOOOO much! I watch it whenever I need a quick bit of cheer and that has to be a gazillion times! I scrolled through the responses here and I'm not alone in that value. Thank you for adding some love to this planet!

They killed this!! ❤
...and buried.
Ladies of Soul!!! The Bronx, NY loves you!!
Wow! That is some AMAZING dancing! I have to watch it again and again.......to focus on each dancer.

whats with that i am a black woman another racist prick
I love how soul music is universal the world loves soul music

That's Moga, she the choreographer. Yellow Pants
I loved that 70's vibe. Well danced and Beautifully done!!! That's my era.

Such an amazing performance. WOW! They move so flawlessly and girl in middle is killing it! Once of best dance performances I've seen in a while.

This woman supersedes all those images in my memory with "WOW". Amazing
When it comes to music and entertainment, we're some of the best imitators, nice work.
These ladies have Soul , their dancing looked effortless.I love it
There is actually one male in the group. All the way to the right, behind the checkerboard pantsuit.
As a funk soul musician, all I can say is: KILLER TIGHT! You gotta feel it to do it! Impressive! Well done! Keep it going!
I absolutely LOVED THIS DANCE ROUTINE! Asians dancing to classic black music. BLASIAN STYLE RULES! REUNITE THE EASTERN PEOPLE & PHILOSOPHYS!!
"As John Lennon said: " I hope some day you'll join us and the world will live as one.'
The swagger of the head movement says it all for me. it takes me back to my teenage years. Thank you so much.
These awesome dancers not only danced independently of each other, but also danced in sync with each other, now that's talent, this was so mesmerizing and captivating, especially the girl in the yellow pants, she was absolutely crisp and fluid and on point, she definitely has natural soul, and that is not to take away from the other dancers, but the girl in the yellow pants was swinging her arms and popping her hips and swaying her legs with such timing and soul I just couldn't keep my eyes off of her
They get'n it!! This was us as kids in the 70's ....every Friday and Saturday night---with the adults. LOVE IT!
To use a 70s phrase, "You ain't never lied." Man there wasn't nothing like a stack of albums and just dancing in the basement, somebody barbecuing, sweating,just having fun 😁 These kids just sent me back in time 💯
This video ALWAYS cheers me up. They look like they're having so much fun. :)
BRAVO!!! This was fantastically choreographed! Each one of you KILLED it!
These kids can FEEL the music. Fantastic
EVERYONE did their thing!!! But that girl in the yellow pants absolutely killed it!! WOW
The choreography perfect. But also the costumes beautifully define the dancers blend of their Asian culture and 70’s black urban soul. James Brown would be proud of his influence around the world on the urban modern dance scene. Excellent representation thank you for posting this.
I'm from Atlanta Georgia in the United States y'all are killing that s***. That's how we used to dance when we were kids back in the 70s
I was in High School when this song came out. I'm 70 now and these kids have the dance moves that I remember as we say "down pat'!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!
Not so fast.. there dance is a mixture of asian precision culture. Don't let the James Brown music fool you. NOT THE REAL SOUL TRAIN DANCERS DEAL. I do like the choreography 👍
Yes....so great to see that version of dancing to the music of the late hardest working man in show business , Mr. James Brown!
My parents turn 70 this year. I grew up listening to this, lol. It's great to see other cultures appreciating Black American culture and music, especially the positive kind.
Were you White then too?.
Gaaaahd-daaaaaum! I don't even know where to start with this! Hard to say which is better, the choreography or the execution. And yellow pants, especially, but they were all great, individually and as an ensemble. This is the kind of thing that lifts the spirit! To high heaven!
👏 👏 👏...
Yo!!.. They killed it, I'm a OG Brooklyn Kat... And I respect these dancers keep up the good work... ✌️
Say It Loud, I’m Black And I’m Proud! My people make the soundtrack of the world!!! And y’all interpret it with great style and flare!
Well said!
I think that they'd say that "I'm yellow and I'm proud."
@@crosbonit I don’t know… let’s ask ‘em
HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!! The choreography, style and pinpoint steps are 100% DOPE!!!!!! - Music is the key to bring us together!!
JESUS CHRIST IS THE KEY
The fusion the girl in the yellow pants gave was perfect you can feel the black American culture and the Asian culture in all her moves she switches from soul to traditional Asian seamlessly. Beautiful simply Beautiful.
I grew up listening to JB.
And this dance crew really does his music extreme justice.
I love the individuality, yet everyone is still on beat.
Reminds me of some of the party’s I went to back then.
WELL DONE!!!
Amazing dancers, looking at their shoes they must be absolute professional dancers, they're choreography & rhythm is FANTASTIC !!!
It's about time Asian women are represented in these dances. As a Caribbean female, I absolutely welcome their platform!!! Please keep it coming, ladies. Every culture has its sexiness, bring it ladies!
why dont you say as a human being love this stuff instead of separating your self from normal other races
@@williamhughes962 Thank you William for pointing this out. I agree
@@williamhughes962so now we are supposed to separate ourselves from our culture because you don’t like it?? Please just stop!!🤬
@@tashaburgess3753 just love your brothers and sisters so easy
@@tashaburgess3753 explain culture for me
The choreography is off the chain. Can’t wait for your next one.❤
True.
They nailed 70's funk... Awesome job
Excellent choreography, excellent rebirth of the 1970s. My my my, they deserve an award, all of them. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 18th December 2023.
Can not stop watching this. It is so awesome to watch. Everyone dancing is so good. The choreography is great!. Some of those moves I have never seen before. WOW!
Smooth.
I am totally elated to see dancing to this magnitude. I am so proud of this dancing troupe. James Brown would have loved to have seen this. This is so dope!!!!
I hear that. I did.
SO good! Update: I can't seem to get enough of this uplifting video. 💃👯
This video makes me HAPPY and smile every time I see it
This is so far the best performance I've ever seen. Specially the girl on the front with yellow pants. She is amazing. Congratulations to all of you

They Rockin that Soul Train Style all day long! 70’s was the best!!💃🏽🕺🏾 Music transcends all boarders and nationalities. This is a beautiful tribute to the Godfather of Soul and those who played an instrumental role in that era of Black music and dancing !
Damn this killed TF out of this. Shout out from Oakland.
Choreography????
I have no words....what a delight!
I felt like they watched every soul train from the 70s and manifested it perfectly with so much soul and style...this was a vibe.
This is some of the FLYEST choreography I have ever seen!! My only complaint is that it's too short!!! Need more!!!
Ooh you must have not seen the Black group the orginals that they appropriated it from.
Where plz.
Can I just SECOND THAT NOTION?
A looooooonnnnnggeerrrrr version
IS needed!! 😄😂
I watch this at least once a week. Always gets me going!
This is one of the best dances I've ever seen! WOW!!🔥🔥🔥

I too survived Bklyn in the '70s. Also spent Five yrs in Japan; they don't 1/2-ass nuthin'!
Wow!!!! I was not expecting that level of Funk! I am now a fan ❤
Music is universal and these ladies KILLED IT with their funky groove!!! Moga, your choreography with thesm was AH-MAZ-ING!!!! =D
The two girls beside the girl in yellow are also incredible just understated and certain moves and outrageous and others
Yes! The trio in the front had me forget everyone else.
This has to be the funkiest dance group I've ever seen. WOW! Thank you Moga Almeri you are INCREDIBLE! Need to see more of this...
Really😂
Precise, fluid, and totally controlled; this is excellence in artistic expression.
This is excellent. Every move goes perfectly with the beat and words. I especially loved the part when their arms are moving wildly to “highhhher”. Their clothes are oddly retro and new at the same time-love the colors.
The young lady in yellow pants nailed it. Beautiful movements
There's choreography, then there's choreography; there's soul, then there's soul; there's groove, then there's groove ; there's dance then there's this. There's wow, then there's WOW! Spellbound by this clip
China in the house representing!!!
Most unusual view of healthy young Asian dancers grooving with body discipline. Clean look. BEAUTIFUL 😊
I am not a dancer. But I am astonished. This is gold.
