The music video (MV) for 'Guchi ga Hatetara' (distributed starting March 18th), a new song by the unique unit formed by singer-songwriter Machi Akari, who loves Showa-era pop songs, and rakugo performer/talent Katsura Sando, was released today, May 1st (Friday).
This MV was entirely filmed and edited by artist Katsura Sando himself, with a camera in hand. The location is the staircase of Yoshimoto Kogyo Tokyo Headquarters, which utilizes a historic former elementary school building, where guest stars Takashi Fujii and Yoshiko Tsubaki showcase dynamic, passion-filled steps.
The highlight of the video is undoubtedly the unique performance delivered by the two cast members. Takashi Fujii and Yoshiko Tsubaki perform sharp steps on the stairwell. Katsura Sando's distinctive camera work amplifies the song's melancholic and humorous qualities, resulting in a highly addictive video that is hard to forget once seen.
The choreography, which incorporates even the ceiling and handrails of the staircase to match the catchy melody, is filled with a popular charm that makes you want to imitate it. A new era of dance MV has been born, with young people undoubtedly flocking to perform 'Odori-ba Dance' on school stairwells after school or office staircases.

**■Takashi Fujii's Comment**
Machi Akari-san's incredibly catchy melody and Sando-oniisan's quirky and amazing lyrics. A masterpiece that continues to surprise and offer new discoveries no matter how many times you listen to it has been born! As a fan, I can't wait to sing it at karaoke!
The choreography devised by Sando-oniisan is also fun to dance! Please try to learn and dance the 'Guchi hatetete tetete' part together!
**■Yoshiko Tsubaki's Comment**
I co-starred with Sando-san and Fujii-san as a newscaster on the news program '2WEEKSNOW,' and filming this MV with them was so much fun, it flew by. Just being between director Sando-san, who is so free, and performer Fujii-san, who is also so free, allowed me to feel free too. They were considerate of my shingles-related back and leg pain and created a scene where I just had to sit (in return, Fujii-san danced a lot. I feel like I received director's free message: 'The stairwell isn't just for dancing, you can sit too!' Everyone, please watch and listen to this MV and use it as a reference for how to spend time in a stairwell!).
**■Katsura Sando's Comment**
It makes me so happy to have two people who get along with me. And the fact that those two are bundles of talent is irresistible. So, let's go! Music Now!
