Dancing Stormtrooper
Practicing to one of my fave tunes of the moment - Singin' in the Rain by Mint Royale. Was taken last week I think after the Twitter event in Ebisu.
Thanks to Tokyo Live Blogger Steve Nagata for taking the vid on his cool new piece of hardware.
Or you can View on YouTube in HD.
Lucasfilm featured the video on the official Star Wars Blog ^o^
And Lucas also featured the Gatsby Trooper on the SW Blog too ^^
I've renewed the design of my Director Account at YouTube. If you want to see the vids before I post em on DC then feel free to subscribe by clicking on the banner ^o^
While I cant dance to save my life, I enjoy exercising by pretending to dance and am currently looking into turning our second floor into a dance studio fitted out with a wall O mirrors ^^;
Exercise by dancing is relatively easy as the music makes you want to wiggle your funky thang and all you need is some tunes and some space to move.
Going swimming often is a bit more though as finding the time can be a wee bit difficult at times. How often do you get in some exercise? And I'm not just talking about dolphin care ^^;
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

That's funny, I was just checking out the old dance video's the other day. The four tops one always puts a huge smile on my face ^^ Dancing is a great way to exercise, but I have two left feet so I stick to robot moves and the funky chicken XO prefer walking, cycling.

You can still dance better than me. As for the workout question, when ever I can find the time between school work and house work I like to do some push ups and sit ups.

Great moves Mr Danny! The only dance I know is the hip thrust (and I'm very good at it) LOL XD
As much as I want to exercise everyday, I can't because of my busy sked (damn you college life!!!). The only time I get to exercise is during karate training sessions every Friday. I also try to exercise in weekends and holidays (or any free day for that matter). Looks like my aim to have a body like Bruce Lee will have to wait x_x

Just when a sprain got cured I hurt my chest during a crazy saturday night and probably I have rib fissure so I haven't been able to do any kind of excercise for months but I used to go few times a week for Jogging or riding with my bike.

I exercise for a bit most mornings and sometimes in the afternoon/night when there's a good song on my playlist, I'll get up and dance for a bit xD;
On another note, you've left the Gatsby song stuck in my head for a few days now, thanks Danny xD;;

Hardly ever to go workout, my doctor banned me from any sports except walk/jog. I also was told no need to force myself if I'm too tired due to my illness.

Incredible! As others have mentioned, it's clear your dancing skills have really improved. I've always loved that version of "Singing In The Rain" and I can't wait to see more Tokyo Trooper dance videos. =^_^=

WOW that's a really good dance you got going on there.
The only thing I count as exercise in my case is running for the bus :3

Excercise is dangerous! LOL!. Nice Moves. .... I NEED to excercise (overweight) but I just hate it (and so does mostly every reader here LOL).

Man I don't work out as much as I should but I do enjoy mock wrestling and boxing with my friends.
I guess that counts as exercise.

Congrats on makin' the Star Wars blog! You definitely have gotten better at dancing - and dancing for almost 3 minutes straight, in full clad armor, that must be very tiring and hot!
Looks like tokyostormtrooper.com has been taken - is that you, Danny Choo?

awesome dancing moves, all I can do is the waltz and fox trot.
I could never do those dance moves, and in fact I am very inflexible, so much that my arms are impairing my freestyle techinique (>.<). On that note, I just swim everyday for about 45 min and then 2 hours per day once swim season starts.

I feel very sorry for a person (in my country New Zealand). Who has had a $5000 Black Storm trooper suit stolen from his property before he could even open the box.

Oh man, I love your dancing Danny Choo! Great work.
