Yo-Kai Exercise Number One[]
An exercise number at the end of the first 24t Yo-Kai Watch episodes has become somewhat of a cultural hit amongst Japanese viewers. The number, titled "Yo-Kai Exercise Number One" (Japanese: ようかい体操第一, Yōkai Taisō Dai-Ichi) takes the viewer through a kinesthetic-based exercise dance with various Yo-Kai characters dancing along to music. The song and dance has become very popular, especially amongst youth users of Nico Nico Douga, a YouTube-like video sharing service.
