3 I'm a fan of their dance covers on youtube. Honestly, I felt really sad when they closed their youtube channel. Now I'm happy to know the reason they closed it. They're debuting! They were times when I thought (while watching them) "Japanese dancers are so fuckin' good, why can't they debut as music groups?!" So, I'm really happy that the youtube dancers "Dancing Dolls" got the chance to debut.
The girls used to upload their dance covers of Perfume, AKB48, SNSD, KARA, Big Bang, 2NE1 and many more. The only covers left on youtube are the ones that got uploaded by other channels. I have just uploaded their cover of Perfume's Laser Beam for you guys to watch.
