Odorite Spotlight: Aikawa Kozue

Aikawa Kozue / 愛川こずえ

I think that everyone, who is interested in Nico Nico Douga, heard about DANCEROID at least once. I would like to introduce you one of the founders of the team – Aikawa Kozue.

In the beginning she danced alone using other artists' choreography. She uploaded her first video in August 2008. In July 2009 she danced "Luka Luka Night Fever" presenting her own choreography and this brought her fame. Her choreography was later used in the PSP game Hatsune Miku-Project DIVA-extend. Also in 2009 she, along with Itokutora (Ikura) and Minka Lee, founded DANCEROID. The team has changed over the time but I think that she is still the most popular member of this group.

Kozue prefers dancing to pop songs. Her choreographies include, first of all, many energetic and sweeping hand movements and simple steps resembling aerobic dance (a bit like zumba figures, but you shouldknow that the boundaries between many dances are very thin and sometimes it's really hard to distinguish them).

She chiefly performs with DANCEROID, but the girls take parts in many events, sometimes abroad. Kozue and Ikura were in Singapore on Eyo 2010 and in Los Angeles at the concert of Hatsune Miku "MIKUNOPOLIS". We can also watch Kozue on all DANCEROID's DVDs.

Sample dances:

1. Solos
Luka Luka Night Fever (Kozue's choreography)
Sweet Magic (Satchaso's choreography)
Hello/How Are You (Debisaku's choreography)
Lily Lily Burning Night (Kozue's choreography)

2. Collabs
Mikan (with Miume and Nora)
My Room Disco Night (with Hinata, Reichel, and Nora; Rere's choreography)
te-yut-te (with Mayuki; Mayuki's choreography)

Mono says:
Kozue is not one of my favourite female odorite, but when I'm watching DANCEROID's videos she draws the most of my attention. She is always smiling and it is clear that she deeply enjoys dancing. Her attitude has the biggest influence on my impression of her performances. While I may not like her very much I can understand why she is liked by so many people.
