"Sexy Boy (Soyokaze ni Yorisotte)" (SEXY BOY 〜そよ風に寄り添って〜, Sekushii Bōi ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~, Sexy Boy (Cuddling in the Gentle Breeze)) is the twenty-ninth single of J-pop idol group Morning Musume. It was released on March 15, 2006, in two editions—a normal edition, and a limited edition with five photo cards featuring the members in duos and came in special packaging. The single reached a peak of #4 on the weekly Oricon charts, and lasted in the charts for 8 weeks.

Theme, music video and choreography

As suggested by its title and lyric, the song portrays the "feeling of the speed of a spring whirlwind"; the song's protagonist is a princess cruising over the spring ocean.

The Single V was released on March 29, 2006.

Reina Tanaka is shown modelling the choreography for the PV in additional pictures. Part of this dance, the characteristic "ue ue" (上 上, sometimes written "↑↑", "up up") motion of pointing one's index fingers up in the air, is often imitated by fans at concerts.
