Just a quick post for anyone who hasn't as yet seen this amazingly stupid and insanely catchy craze. A silly SWF featuring a few frames of Anime from the visual novel, Popotan. This has been made famous all over Japan (and now the world) by Nicovideo and other sites. Below is the orignal opening of Popotan, with plenty of PANTSUUUUU!

After watching the video for "I My Me Mine" by the Polysics I was totally blown away by the dancer and her weird robotic, slightly frightening style of popping / parapara.

Some Googleing later I discovered her name is Strong Machine 2, the 12 year old daughter of Strong Machine. Ok, so that doesnt explain alot, basically her dad is also a body popper and has passed on the mantle of "Strong Machine" to his daughter, thus creating Strong Machine Version 2. This girl is an extremely talented street dancer and has featured in the trail for the Raindance film festival...
