VA's Tomokazu Sugita and Minoru Shiraishi Join Aya Hirano in Dancing Haruhi's 'Hare Hare Yukai'

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

 

Yesterday, we reported that Haruhi Suzumiya voice actor Aya Hirano, who has been using her time at home to reminisce on the 14-year old Kyoto Animation classic, was teaching others how to dance the 'Hare Hare Yukai,' the infamous dance from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya that spread like meme wildfire back in 2006. Even though Tomokazu Sugita, who voices Kyon in the series, said that he wasn't going to join in on the fun, today he and Minoru Shiraishi, who voiced Kyon's friend Taniguchi, uploaded their own ... unique takes on the dance.

Aya Hirano then combined all three videos together:

 

Shiraishi said he danced because he "was told by the leader" to perform; like a good S.O.S. Brigade member should! Now for Nagato and Mikuru to join in...
