The members of Arashi travelled to New York City to learn the choreography for this song, which was choreographed by JaQuel Knight.

Promotion

To support their new album, Arashi performed a live tour "Arashi LIVE TOUR Love" hitting all the major dome stadiums in Japan. They had 16 performances beginning on Nagoya Dome on November 8, followed by Sapporo Dome on November 15, Osaka Dome on November 22, Tokyo Dome on December 12, and Fukuoka Dome on December 20, 2013.
A video explaining the steps for the dance to their new song, "FUNKY", was uploaded onto their agency's official website. Arashi encouraged fans to learn the steps so that they could all dance together during the concert.
