おかめいど ダンス動画 ニコニコ動画より無断転載
Okamaid dances 'Love & Joy'. Her dance motion of this movie was traced, distributed, and used for various movies created through the 'MikuMikuDance(MMD)' (see the note below).
This is an unauthorized copy from 'nico nico douga'. Visit the original: http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm3152776

(Note) Okamaid uploaded this movie on April 30, 2008 on 'nico nico douga' site. An MMD motion tracer called 'Wasabi P' traced the motion and made an MMD movie titled '(In that room) Tried to dance Love & Joy full version (Okame costume)', which was uploaded on December 22, 2008 on 'nico nico douga' site. This is the first MMD movie using the motion of this Love & Joy dance by Okamaid. You can see the memorable MMD movie on 'nico nico douga' site ( http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm5618831 ) or on Wasabi P's blog dated December 22, 2008 (now unlinked http://zoome.jp/wasabinoboss/diary/101/ ). Wasabi P said it took four months to create the movie. You can read the interesting process on his blog ( http://wasabip.blog.fc2.com/ ) (old blog is now unlinked http://zoome.jp/wasabinoboss/ ).

According to Okamaid, the choreography of this dance was basically from the cheer dance performed by 'Cheer Dragons' with a mascot called 'Doala' on 'D-STAGE' of Nagoya Dome, a home ground of a baseball team 'Chunichi Dragons'. Okamaid said she added improvisation to the original dance. You can find the original cheer dance on both Youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQZ83auQzK4 ) and nico nico douga ( http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1489303 ). When compared with the Cheer Dragons' dance, it seems that Okamaid created the dances in the static opening (0:00-0:23), exciting interlude (2:29-2:51), and the impressive coda (3:50-4:26). Jumping poses are also her own.
Obviously the reason why her dance motion has been captured and used for various MMD movies is its completeness and enchantment.

It is not clear who made the original dance. The choreographies for the Cheer Dragons have been created by Misao Ichikawa, a tap dancer and the organizer of a dance studio 'R3', since 2001. Therefore, Ichikawa probably made the original dance. You can see the same choreography to the different music, 'Sakurambo' by Ai Ohtsuka, danced by the Cheer Dragons (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRR6OB-leRg , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VadKybKXJ4s , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elMudTDGluA ), so this dance does not seem to be for 'Love & Joy' at the beginning.
