"Space Dance!" (Japanese: 宇宙ダンス!, Hepburn: Uchū Dance!) is the debut single by Kotori with Stitch Bird, a Japanese music group created by Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino, formed of Dream5 member Kotori Shigemoto, Yulia, and Yuka. Released on September 16, 2015, "Space Dance!" was the 5th ending theme to the 2014 Yo-kai Watch TV-series, succeeding "Yo-kai Exercise No. 2".

Background and releases

"Space Dance!" is the debut single by Kotori with Stitch Bird, a Japanese music group formed to bring new direction to the music of the 2014 TV-series Yo-kai Watch, which "Space Dance!" is the 5th ending theme for.[1] The song was choreographed by Lucky Ikeda,[2] who had previously choreographed multiple other Yo-kai Watch themes, such as "Gera Gera Po" and "Don-Don-Dooby-Zoo-Bah!".[3]

"Space Dance!" started being used as the new ending theme to the Yo-kai Watch TV-series in the first episode of the series' second season, "Usapyon Is Here!" (aired July 10, 2015).[2] The single was released digitally on iTunes on July 11, 2014, and was later released as a DVD on September 16, under the FRAME label. The DVD release was bundled with a physical Yo-kai Medal of the character Usapyon, in addition to a QR code, that would give the scanner a digital coin to use in Yo-kai Watch: Wibble Wobble.[4]

The song has also appeared in other pieces of Yo-kai Watch media, including Yo-kai Watch: Enma Daiō to Itsutsu no Monogatari da Nyan!, where it was one of the two ending themes,[5] and Yo-kai Watch Dance: Just Dance Special Version, where it was one of the game's 10 songs.[6]

Chart performance

"Space Dance!" made a total of 12 appearances on the weekly Oricon Singles Chart, where it peaked at number five for the week of September 28, 2015.[7] The song also made one appearance on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart at number 58 during the week of October 3, 2015.[8]
