Hideki Fujisawa is a Japanese musician, better known by the stage name Dance Man . Dance☆Man calls himself an alien from "Mirror Ball Planet". He is always seen wearing a huge afro wig and sideburns, matched with sunglasses. He is very secretive about his identity to the public, and does not release any personal information in his CDs or his official website.
Fujisawa is currently signed to independent record label In Da Groove, distributed by Nippon Columbia.
Fujisawa went to Dokkyou University, a private college in Saitama prefecture, majoring in economics but eventually dropped out before he could graduate. During his stay in the university, he joined a band called JADOES. The band became official in 1986, when Kadomatsu Toshiki became their record producer. The band's drummer, Yukio Shimamura, did some roadshows with band Casiopea, inspiring Fujisawa to do some roadshows himself.
He started his own career in 1998, calling himself as a space alien from "Planet Mirrorball". He re-arranged famous American/British dance songs from the 70's and 80's, often replacing the lyrics with humorous lines. One of them was Carl Carlton's song "She's a Bad Mama Jama (She's Built, She's Stacked)" He made his own cover version of the song, renamed it to "Se no Takai Yatsu wa Jama", and released it on March 18 under Avex Trax.
In 1999, he began a career in arranging and re-arranging songs written by Japanese composers. He started his career as an arranger to Morning Musume's 7th single, "Love Machine." The single was a success and his name became known in the music industry.
When the millennium came, Fujisawa again arranged another song for the group Morning Musume. "Koi no Dance Site" was the group's 8th single and won an award from 42nd Japanese Japan Record Grand Prix, along with Hiromi Gō's "Nakatta Koto ni Shite." On the same year, Hiromi Gō invited Fujisawa as a guest in his performance at Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
