#Akari Akase’s My Dress-Up Darling ED TikTok Dance Reaches 1 Million Views in Just 30 Hours

With anime set in the modern era about modern issues, the wHolesome with a capital “H” romantic comedy My Dress-Up Darling has gone to TikTok to promote the series through the ending theme song “Koi no Yukue.” While it’s no surprise the producers of the single have done so, with singer Akari Akase starting off her career as a cosplayer and TikToker, this has helped the “Fuwa Fuwa Dance” reach over 1 million views in just 30 hours after release.

The “Fuwa Fuwa Dance” is a TikTok version of “Koi no Yukue” that simplifies the dance seen in the music video for the song. Akari Akase first released the dance on her own TikTok account with others using the sound to continue the trend. Click here to see the dance on TikTok.

Sony Music Labels, the producer and publisher of the single, also revealed today that the (above) music video for “Koi no Yukue” has already been viewed over 3 million times on YouTube since it was released on January 9, which saw the video reach 1 million views in only 14 days.

The My Dress-Up Darling TV anime is directed by Keisuke Shinohara and features animation produced at CloverWorks. The series began on January 8 and is streaming weekly right here on Crunchyroll, which describes the series as such:

Wakana Gojo is a high school boy who wants to become a kashirashi–a master craftsman who makes traditional Japanese Hina dolls. Though he’s gung-ho about the craft, he knows nothing about the latest trends, and has a hard time fitting in with his class. The popular kids–especially one girl, Marin Kitagawa–seem like they live in a completely different world. That all changes one day, when she shares an unexpected secret with him, and their completely different worlds collide.
