La-la-la! Tropical Carnival!gaagaaS
This is a lively, movement-based song with a fun, tropical carnival vibe that energizes children’s sports days.
Created by gaagaaS as an original exercise program for Morii Fantasy’s character “Lala-chan,” it was released in March 2024 and has been adopted by over 600 preschools nationwide.
The rhythmic dance encourages big movements of the arms and legs, and by dancing together, children naturally develop expressive skills and cooperation.
As a tie-in with the AEON Group, it’s perfect for sports day performances and parent-child dances! The choreography is enjoyable for adults too, helping to deepen parent-child communication.
S-s-stealthy footsteps
Let’s showcase the children at their best! Presenting “Shi Shi Shi no Nobi Ashi.” When you think of ninjas, you imagine various techniques for battling enemies, like shuriken throwing and concealment, right? This time, let’s try “Shi Shi Shi no Nobi Ashi,” which focuses on stealthy footsteps.
From the very beginning of the song, it’s sure to capture the children’s interest! By having them perform each movement slowly and quietly, you can highlight a charming contrast with their usual energetic selves—highly recommended!
