"Dancing Hero (Eat You Up)" (ダンシング・ヒーロー (Eat You Up), Danshingu Hirō (Eat You Up)) is a song by Yōko Oginome. It is a cover of the 1985 song "Eat You Up" by British singer Angie Gold. The song was released on November 21, 1985.[2]

In 2017, the song resurfaced in popularity after a video of Tomioka Dance Club using the song as part of their dance routine went viral.

Background and release

"Dancing Hero (Eat You Up)" is a cover of the 1985 song "Eat You Up" by British singer Angie Gold with translated Japanese lyrics.[1] It was first released in Japan on November 21, 1985 and became an immediate hit, propelling Yoko Oginome to fame.[1] The song won numerous awards and also allowed Oginome to perform at the 37th Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 1986.[1]

In 2017, the dance club from Tomioka High School used the song for their routine reworked with Dead or Alive's 1985 song "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" and catch phrases from comedian Nora Hirano.[3] During the dance, the students wore costumes paying homage to the 1980s.[3] Their routine first gained media interest when they won second place at Dance Stadium, a national high school dance competition, in August, with the choreography named the "bubbly dance" after the bubble economy in Japan during the 1980s, which brought interest back to "Dancing Hero (Eat You Up)."[3] When a video featuring the "bubbly dance" was uploaded onto YouTube, it gained 2.5 million likes within the first two days.[3]
