The choreographer for this MV choreo is Ayako Takeuchi, who is also the person who originally taught BoA jazz dance and also is the primary choreographer for a lot of BoA's hits both in KR and JP. She also was the performance director for the majority of BoA's concerts up until she retired from the entertainment industry. Particularly, BoA specifically called her up and asked her to help with her first Korean concert in 2013 because SM was so inexperienced in handling concerts with a live band, lol.
This was a song off of BoA's first ever self-produced album, her 7th Japanese album released in 2010 (Identity). IIRC BoA picked Daichi for this collab because she wanted to do a collab with a man who could also dance. Which I find somewhat ironic since they never danced together live LOL.

Daichi is a GEM and I have LOVED his tracks and intention to movement so much! Delighted that we have this to appreciate!

What a throwback! I'm a long time fan of Daichi both sonically and dance-wise too. I was bummed that Avex doesn't even post all the MVs/dances officially on Youtube so I went and bought his best of blu-ray a while to watch on my own time (It's the Right Time in 1080p was sooo good). Hope to see more Daichi on Patreon!
