Japanese Dance Sensation Yurinasia Shines on TBS

On October 13, 2025, celebrated dancer and choreographer yurinasia made her highly anticipated appearance on TBS's popular morning information program, "THE TIME." During the show's well-loved segment, the "Shimaenaga Exercise," she introduced her latest choreographed routine tailored to engage viewers. The new exercise program is an evolution of the previously cherished "Shimaenaga Dance," launching from October onwards.

Yurinasia was responsible for crafting this innovative choreography, designed to naturally encourage viewers to move while blending a sense of ease with endearing movements. The routine is meant to reflect the charm of the Shimaenaga bird, inviting audience participation as people are drawn to its refreshing rhythm and delightful appeal.

In conjunction with the broadcast, viewers are encouraged to participate in a unique initiative that allows them to submit their own videos based on yurinasia's instructional clips. Selected submissions will be featured on the program, fostering a sense of community and interaction among fans.

Yurinasia expressed her excitement about the project, stating, "I aimed to incorporate the cuteness of 'Shimaenaga-chan' while creating moves that will naturally inspire people to dance. While it may appear challenging, I've included familiar 'moves' that everyone will recognize. I can’t wait to communicate directly with our audience during my appearance on October 13."
