Nina Does Three Dances (AKB48, 楽しんご, Nina Original)

[nrtyas28]

nina is so cute. i start to watch you since 2 years ago and right now you grow up so much. nina you become more beautiful by the day.

[skylar50]

OMG SHE SUCKS. LOOK AT ASHIDA MANA. 芦田愛菜。she is way more better

[ylfriends]

I just watched the original videos, and I have to say Nina does it so much better!! Well at least to me Nina's renditions sound better LOL!! Isn't it amazing the baby who cried because the banana was gone suddenly grows up, makes all the dance moves and even writes her own song? I'd be amazed. :)

[earthyjendral]

kawaiiii ko!!

[kacangmede]

Medaruuuu! LOOL honestly i dont like AKB48 at all, i dont get the necessity for girls to be singing in lingerie and stuff... but Nina's version is so entertaining!! I literally exploded laughing during the Medal part :P

PS: I just made udon+nasu coz the previous night I was watching Parenting Case: Negotiations video. Thank youu Geofg, Nina and Mama :)

[geofg]

@kacangmede Nina had never seen AKB48 when she sang this. She just heard other kids at her daycare singing it and imitated them. I don't get the AKB48 phenomenon either.

[huahahhh]

I'm very much into JPOP so it's so cool that I'm familiar with these dances haha. It's so cute how Nina throws a "medal" in Aitakatta though XD

[thesulbah]

hug and kiss from Malaysia :) may God bless u,nina and ur whole family.

ur videos always make my day, and inspiration for me when i have a child, God' will :)

have anice day!!!

[IndigoCat17]

[MeshaNoviar]

HAHAHAH I LOVE DODOS KOS KOS DANCE HAHAHA LOVE YOUU NINAAA

[OKTAVIANuzumaki]

[behindthatmask]

she's adorable and from her last dance, she should take up ballet! somewhat ballet-ish moves right there!

[jessiejanesama]

what a cute little child! that was really good. have a lot of energy left.

[galatheya143]

bravo nina! :D

[Animexxlady]

KAWAII !!!!!!! :3

[LiAYuMmY]

[2008emitan]

[javillo001]

[AisumiChan]

[BeaBeReppin]

0:40 !!!!!!! So cute :")

[BeaBeReppin]

Wow the last song was the best actually. the second one was tooooo funny! HAHAHAH the first one is just adorable!!!!!!!! I love you Nina! :)

[YurikoWatanabe]

Awwwwwwww.So cute!!!!!!!!

[chico52nyanyian]

は〜癒されました。ありがとう！

[MsGaijinSyauqi]

Well, AKB is the in thing with kids nowadays.... it's normal, Morning Musume had the same hype with kids 6-7 years ago especially with Mini Moni.

[luvmaya]

@geofg I want her to learn a Morning Musume dance! Why AKB :( Awww...I guess It can't be helped that Morning Musume aren't selling too well anymore. And what with AKB's Millions xD

[hani92nefertiri]

u should send nina to ballet class!

[geofg]

@hani92nefertiri Ballet is TOO EXPENSIVE in Japan!

[geofg]

@geofg ha ha She learned this from the other kids at her daycare, so I guess AKB is popular with little kids these days.

[hani92nefertiri]

@geofg really? wow, that is sad. nina would be great for ballet!

[srainy]

@geofg aww that's unfortunate! i think nina would be beautiful at ballet :D have you ever thought about figure skating? i heard it's a famous sport in japan and with so many japanese skaters on the international scene, i've no doubt about it xD

i love watching nina! she grew up so wonderfully! the way you speak to her in english reminded me of my parents/grandma back home ^^ my dad doesn't mind whichever language i use but my grandma pretends she doesn't understand if it's not in english xD

[geofg]

@srainy I think skating would be pretty expensive in Japan, too! And, there aren't many skating rinks around, so it's kind of an elitist sport. We were thinking maybe jazz dance or modern dance? And, Nina is already taking swimming lessons.

So, what language do you speak besides English?

[Fahrvergnugen]

Her "own recipe" song doesn't sound too far off from commercial JPop! :)

[xCOOKIECHAN]

Awww she does an AKB dance ♥

[j0inolryt]

thanks for the warning geofg hahahaha... 0:47 so cute

[NeoRaye]

haha Tanoshigo! lol he is such a weirdo. lol

[MsFesty]

waaahhh..nina the extreme dancer..finnaly we know nina's real talent..lol dodoskos song is a bit weird song..oh my god 1:15 makes me laugh very hard..XD

[geofg]

@MsFesty Yes, Nina definitely loves to dance.  The Dodoskos song comes from a Japanese comedian on TV. I don't really get it, but he is very popular now.

[nal4122]

BOB DYLAN Performance at Gramy Awards 2011

このディランもそうだけど、

このニーナもなんか、方向が間違ってると思うんですが？

[geofg]

@nal4122 笑

[Ositobobito]

Fantastic performance Nina!! Clap clap clap!!!

[TheMermer15]

ninaaa.... she is getting older. kawaii desu ne.... by the way hows your life? Did you affected by earthquake?

[geofg]

@TheMermer15 Where we live, Nagoya, there was no damage from the earthquake or tsunami, and the radiation from the Fukushima power plant should not travel this far, so we are OK. Thank you.

[MNM451]

ちょっと歌詞が違うけど、踊りが可愛いかった‼

また、AKB48の、ダンス、踊ってくださいね！

[geofg]

@MNM451 ニーナは本当のビデオが見てないですよ。保育園のクラスメートか­ら教えてもらったから歌詞がちょっと変わったらしい。（笑）

[HisakiNami]

Tanoshingo! :D I love him. He's so adorable and funny. :D Nina impersonates him well, and so adorably! She looks like she's having fun, and well, I can also hear that you guys are enjoying her performances. :D Nice job Nina!

[huahahhh]

Haha so cute~ Does Nina have a favorite idol? :3

[geofg]

@huahahhh Actually, she still likes Dora the Explorer and Snow White and Cinderella. ha ha She doesn't really watch much regular TV.

[huahahhh]

@geofg haha classic Disney princesses, I see :D

[melzaelf]

Nina is a Superb dancer!!

=D

[languageandhumor]

Very cute. I assume this is the pilot presentation to the TV networks for that show we talked about, "Dansu Ichi Nii Na."

[DoodlingPrincess]

tottemo kawaii.... <3

[latinopapita]

Thanks for the reply ! Nina has such nice parents ..I am sure they will encourage all her talents in every possible way . I will also try to check about few schools in nagoya and happy to share more info :))

[latinopapita]

any plans of making her learn dancing seriously ? i think she really enjoys and not the stage fear sort :))!

[beppu]

@latinopapita At 2:20 of watch?v=YwT_ZXfh7Bw she says very emphatically, "I want to go to dance class." I say let her do it.

[geofg]

@latinopapita If Nina wants to take dance lessons sometime, we will support her, of course. She has said she would like to take dance lessons, so we just have to find the right kind. In Japan, ballet is VERY expensive, so we would probably have to find another kind of dance classes that we could afford. ha ha

[TheJustGee]

Nina you are a super duper cute girl and funny, thank you for making me smile all the time :) lots of love from Georgette! <3<3

[o0HoneyBee0o]

Nina has turned into such a funny kid xD

[bestariano]

why is she so cute >.<

[bestariano]

why is she so cute >.<

[SuperNatcharee]

Sawaddee ka Nina, you're so special!! I've watched all you vids and I love them so much. When I feel bad and had a stressful day, just watch your vids make me feel fresh and clear ! I had to sign up for youtube ac, because I can't stand your cuties and I have to let you know.

And Daddy and Mommy, you're the best! I like it very much when Nina did some fun things, you always laugh with her. And know how to teach and learn a common sense and human being!

Lots of love from Thailand ^__^

[geofg]

@SuperNatcharee Thanks! and thanks for signing up for YouTube just to make a comment!

We love Thailand, by the way!

[SuperNatcharee]

@geofg Hope you and your family come visit Thailand someday, I can be your tour guide :-)

BTW, I love Nina's face when she say " that's it " ;-D so cute!!

[underconstructionz]

nina is always cute!!

[ulan25]

i think it's ペダル =) pedal! hehe, im just guessing cos she was singing about bikes...

[geofg]

@ulan25 Yeah, you're right. Nina has never actually seen the original. She learned it from other kids at her daycare, so I think the words got a bit distorted along the way. ha ha

[uwaisbabyboy]

20 march? i guess ure family are safe from the tsunami. thank god.

[geofg]

@uwaisbabyboy Yes, we are safe and fine here in Nagoya!

[ulan25]

i was singing dodos kos kos all afternoon at work today. haha!

[geofg]

@ulan25 ha ha For me it is the Aitakatta one I can't get out of my head.

[ulan25]

i love how she just goes on with the dance while laughing at her own silliness :)

[RamenFury]

make her dance to michael jackson, then force her to learn billiejean/beat it =O

[evavigo]

Armpit dance! Hilarious!! You should definitely clone her and sell her, you'd be millionaire! ; )

[hikkiy69]

ニーナちゃんは、そちら（名古屋？）でタレントorモデルの活動­やofferはないのでしょうか？

[raattuu93]

nina youre sooooo cute <3

btw has she already gone to school?

[purplesomeone]

I love you nina! I just want to wrap you up and hug you!!! I feel like your big sister and I wanna protect you from any mean ppl on the internet. Love, Christina from UCSB!

[geofg]

@purplesomeone ha ha Thanks for looking out for Nina. Mostly the mean people are not interested in this channel.

[crazyphan18]

@purplesomeone UCSB? I'm a fellow Santa Barbarian my self! and feel the same way. Nina always puts a smile on my face!

[LadyGrinningSoul]

Adorable!! I can't tell you enough how much I love her!!! She is going to be one very popular and beautiful kid. Heck, she already is!

[lisacs83]

Haha! So cute! There seemed to be some fencing moves in there I think!

[geofg]

@lisacs83 Yeah, I can see that.

[punkonthis]

I love her spirit. I hope you guys are doing well. My thoughts are with Japan right now. But I think despite the seriousness of everything, videos like this will help people alleviate some of their burden. I couldn't help but laugh and smile. Nina has gotten so big. So lovely. I love her sillyness. :)

[geofg]

@punkonthis Thanks! Yeah, we've been watching so much depressing news lately... Nina reminded us that we have to pay attention to the mundane sometimes, too.

[iamrichlol]

did you move to japan before you met ninas mom, or?

how did you go about moving to japan, and wanting to learn the language in general. just curious.

[geofg]

@iamrichlol No, I met Nina's mother after moving here. When I first got here, I worked at a friend's language school. Later, I got a job at a high school. I started learning Japanese after moving here, which was really tough at first.

[iamrichlol]

@geofg oh. thats awesome dude. is it difficult being a white dude in asia? forgive my ignorance, but i was always told that asians (chinese mostly) do not like to get with white people, guys especially. at least, over here in england they dont date outside of their own race, and i never see them hanging around with other races

[AreYoohJen]

Oh gees, shes soo cute!

[jellofairy]

DO DOSU KOSU KOSU. I thought it was funny that she would dance to Aittakatta because we sung that in our Japanese class but tanoshingo...changed my life. xD

[miniti]

OH MY NINA! You're one of a kind! Hahahahahaha! Super hyper kid for her age! Hahaha! Good to know that she's enjoying despite what happened to Japan. She makes a lot of people happy! Thank you for sharing the love and joy~ also give my thanks to her~

[ohnousernameavailabl]

love the dodos kos kos dance!! its so catchy and seems fun! =)

[Wdoubleyou18]

Dodos kos kos kos!!! que lindo baile

Aunque su propio baile fue muy original

seguramente Nina se a de inventar muchos bailes.

[Archronos1]

I thought something was funny with my routine! Demi-plie, jump, squat, plie, AND THEN jump-croise.

[GazeCarsa]

Oh, my! So good in dance!

It so good to see her enjoying her childhood)))

[Dark417]

hahaha the dodos kos kos kos dance was hilarious!

[fabitapunk]

She's sooo adorable!!!

[JPNSinger101]

Gosh, she is the cutest! :D Perhaps we have a future J-Pop star here, haha. So so adorable! <3

[tisha088]

hahaha! SHE'S SO CUTE! hi nina! you have a HUUUUGE fan all the way here from the philippines. :) i love watching all of your nina videos as it never fails to keep me smiling even on the dullest days. you did such a great job on raising her! ^__^ my birthday is coming up on march 28. it would be such a great gift to see her do a birthday dance. haha!

[maliaana]

Her song was the best one.

[SugusVanDerWoodsen]

don't have to use laughter tracks lol

she's sooooo powerful ;)

[xenocentricism]

I'm glad to know that your family and Nina is safe :(

[xenocentricism]

@xenocentricism omo, wrong smiley.. is should be :) XD

[StaringKate]

I even press Thumb up before I watch it !

[icecreampillowify]

geof san you dont need a television to be entertained. Having nina around is just enough to keep you entertained. She has a lot of talent to show.

[ariasancheck]

保育園で流行っているんでしょうね～

友だちと一緒にはしゃいでる姿が目に浮かびます

these dances must be popular in hoikuen

i can imagine Nina dancing with her friends

[geofg]

@ariasancheck ええ、保育園で流行ってるらしいですね。私たちはあまり日本のテ­レビを見ないので最初見たときは「このダンスって何だろう？」と­思いました。笑

[TokyoCheese]

I remember Aitakatta, I think it was one of their more harmless videos. I prefer Nina's version more.

[aishahaleyes]

kawaiiiiii Nina!

[cyn853]

Hi Geof! hope u n ur family r well in japan... i always love to watch ur video, just a random question i wanna ask to u, i've seen a lot of video in youtube and love to read the comment posted by viewers and sometimes a lot of ppl just being mean and left a negative comment, however it very rare in ur video! :D do u ever had a mean or negative comment from ur viewers?.. anyways! keep making a video.. and i hope japan will getting better! prayforjapan*

[geofg]

@cyn853 Yeah, most people have left only positive, friendly messages on this channel. I have seen the kind of negative comments a lot of channels get, so I know what you mean. The video with Nina talking about Egypt got too popular, so that one did attract a few negative comments, but mostly people are very respectful, so I am thankful for that.

[sheila37]

i love the dodos dance! did mom say "kyan~" at the end of it? haha.

who needs cable tv when you have a kid like nina!

her dances are very entertaining and funny and your laughs just made them funnier. xD

[geofg]

@sheila37 Actually, that was her aunt, who was watching her via skype.

[frangipanidaisy]

wow those are some nice dance moves! have you considered enrolling her into dancing classes?

[Soh12Beatbox]

seems like i had no time to get already to extreme goofiness xD

[geofg]

@Soh12Beatbox Just like with the earthquake warnings that come on TV. By the time the warning comes, you can already feel the earthquake happening.

[KazehanaAyame]

Ah, she's so cute. When I finally have a child, I hope my son or daughter is as cute as that and not a little monster like I was. Haha~. 8D;

[kouryu90]

see... i told u she wants to be an idol... aitakatta~~~

haha...

[arvinlim]

Nina has sweet rosy cheek!! such a bubbly adorable daughter... :)

[qendu]

she has so much power ^^

and I hope everything is alright with your family, I pray for Japan!

[amirin2004]

かわいいね❤(^o^)丿　Amirin

[shaddayah]

Ahahahahah! That was so funnyy XD! and LOOL @ warning 1:20!! I love Nina's goofiness!

[meZATY]

she can be a comedian,a song-writer,a weather reporter,an announcer,a dancer,a vlogger,,whoahhh so many!;D

and the best part is,she makes everything look and sound cute:')

[geofg]

@meZATY Yeah, it will be interesting to see what she ends up doing when she's older.

[latinopapita]

Nina dancing is so cool ...she ends up making most of it ! Yo nina Go nina !

[varyzcha]

kawaii XD

[dudeshaddup]

Just curious, have you and your wife ever considered having more kids?

[angle021]

sooo cute! love nina :) 

[MissLauraAlexandra]

nina is so cute and so verbal! have you thought about getting her into entertainment?

[kamipinku]

OMGGG she sings aitakatta XDD she even knows the dance steps soo cute <333

[xoxoVittixoxo]

hahaha her AKB48 dance :P so kawaii!!! :D

[kichan]

Good thing she hasn't seen any AKB48 music videos ^^;; they're a little uh... aimed at their male fans.

[geofg]

@kichan I know. I had never watched an AKB48 video, but after Nina came home and did this one, I had to go check it out. I think I'll try to keep her from seeing the real thing for a bit longer.

[phoeson18]

Definitely love the dodoskoskos dance lol

[liltumberlina]

@phoeson18 hahaa..yaaaa! =D

[tubelev]

once again geofg! i have so much bs going on right now, but this gave me a second to breathe in and out.

onwards now with great power!

gooo Nina :D

[linnifae]

Awww so kawaii! And not at all shy, lol



[Dystle]

I honestly burst out in laughter at the first dance. That song's been stuck in my head since I saw a commercial with that song while I was in Japan. :D Awesome Job!!

[geofg]

@Dystle I know. That song is stuck in my head now, too.

[himafu]

Dodos kos kos kos was such a hilarious dance! XD

[byteit]

Maybe Nina will grow up to become a public speaker or something- she's always so brave and enthusiastic about what she's doing in front of an audience!

[bellitawurst]

I'm so glad that you guys are okay!!!

[zoodensha]

I wish I had been this consistant about pictures with my kids. It is amazing how here face changes as she grows up. I tried to take lots of pictures, but I got lazier as time went by. And the changes can be so fast sometimes.

Still a lovely personality.

[geofg]

@zoodensha I think probably when Nina starts elementary school, I will stop taking so many pictures/movies. But, yeah, they change really quickly at this age.

[Luciditi]

I always love seeing Nina dance! She's always loved to dance around hasn't she? ^_^ Let's hope she always keeps that fun and happy spirit of hers.

[nirvgardengod]

OH MY !! akimoto-san are you watching ?? ;} that was too cute.

[1992rainy]

OH MY GOD... she's a dancer!

[curlyqpd]

So happy to see out NINA bouncing around!!!  Take care of yourselves!!! Sending much love from the U.S.

[pokemongurl93]

She's just too silly!! Haha I hope this doesn't sound creepy since I'm kind of a kid too (13) but I wish I could play with Nina for a whooole day!! I bet we would have fun!! :D

[geofg]

@pokemongurl93 Nina would like that, I'm sure. Recently, she really enjoys being around older kids. Sometimes, I think she wishes she had an older sister.

[pokemongurl93]

@geofg That's really cute!! I wanted to go abroad to Japan as an exchanged student when I got older and I always wondered if it would be ... non-creepy to meet any of the people on youtube who lived in Japan if I were in that area. Just a thought though. I doubt it would happen.

[TheAwsumpossum]

@geofg what part of japan are you guys in??? I have relatives there (I'm from Minnesota) and they were reasonably far away from where all the devastation is but they still felt it.... Im so glad you are all ok(:

[geofg]

@TheAwsumpossum We are in Nagoya, so we were relatively far away as well, though we did feel the earthquakes here.

[zedsj]

haha! nuna gave her big claps! (She takes goofy dancing very seriously)

[geofg]

@zedsj Yes, goofy dancing is a serious thing!

[5310192]

Love Nina from Thailand

[aeyeni]

i've been watching nina growing up for almost two years.. please don't stop! :D aishiteru nina !!~~ ^.^

[ith4aja]

Hahahaha great dance, nina..

And I luv your laugh too mrGeofg.. ^^

[gggnana]

i love Nina!!!

[LoveYamachan]

nina the super jpop idol~! ^^

[thewoodie2011]

Way to go, Nina! Watching you makes me happy indeed.

Thank you and your wife for sharing part of her life with us.

[VVAANNEE101]

So cute!

[MsOhayoOhio]

i did this kind of stuff when i was a kid too lol about that same age

[xxremix1]

Haha her pajamas remind me of a kigurumi sort of. :) && I get videos late too >: I'll try the unsubscribe/re-subscribe thing.

[TubaBuddha]

Well done sister friend!

[tinchuchan]

kawaii

[heomak]

this was uploaded on the 20th but only showed up in my subscription box today!

[geofg]

@heomak Sometimes I upload the videos first, then check if they uploaded OK, and don't make them public right away. I only made this public from today.

[hectorbacchus]

Is Nina going to be a Japanese Pop Star?

[TwilightTsukasa]

Nina is so precious (and so talented)! She should have her own variety show! lol

[NadiaEveStudio]

I'm learning Japanese while watching cuteness!! :D

man do I wish my mom taught me more Japanese when I was younger ^^;

@NadiaEveStudio Is your mother Japanese?
