Dancers job

slavomiros · #1 9th September 2009, 09:10 PM

Some days ago, I watched the Maki Goto G-Emotion II ~How to use sexy~ concert from 2007 and I saw Zin - the Ayu dancer, dancing for Maki during that live performance. Is it typical for Avex singers to "share" dancers between each other?

Yup.
Maro danced in the CAN'T EAT, CAN'T SLEEP, I'M SICK PV. Also he was in Hikki's keep tryin' PV.

Wow, thanx for confirming that. I was a bit surpriced though ^_^

Yeah, really I was surprised really. You only see him for a split second, but it's definitely him from what I can see.

The dancers are most likelly hired for specific works... a video, a tour, etc. They are not exclusive to Ayu and they are only payed when she is using them...

What Andrenekoi said. Just because they're with Ayu doesn't mean she owns them like dogs XD They're dancers, used in everything that they can be used in.

hmm...I just thought they were somehow bound by contracts to respective singers...like as if Hikki had her own ones, Ayu, Maki and Namie as well.

zyoeru · #10 9th September 2009, 10:13 PM

^ Well I think such a contract exists, but it's not really up to avex, it's up to the company the dancer is with.

slavomiros · #11 9th September 2009, 10:17 PM

hmmm, seems pretty interesting. I didn't know how their job looks like as what goes for their employers ^_^ Very interesting information I have learnt here ;-)

Hide (ayu's old dancer) is a backup dancer for Namie now.
And Subaru used to be Namie's backup dancer as well during her tour in 2000

That is interesting. I also thought they were exclusive to Ayu only. *facepalm*

oh wow, really? but hikki is from EMI...

Andrenekoi · #17 10th September 2009, 02:34 AM

The dancers aren't hired by Avex, they are hired by the singers...

jiarongisme · #18 10th September 2009, 02:50 AM

Maro danced for Kuu's concert before. I forgot which though.
