Che Che KuleGāna min’yō

Che Che Kule

Many of you have probably heard it, since it was used in Sapporo’s “Fukucha” TV commercial.

This tune has such a warm, cozy melody, doesn’t it? The original seems to be a Ghanaian folk song, and from what I can catch by ear, the lyrics sound something like “Risankamangan Sansamangan”? By the way, that part of the lyrics apparently corresponds to the Japanese chant “sesse sse no.” This song is a staple for the “dancing tamaire” game, and there’s even a proper basic choreography.

The dance with the little hip wiggles is so cute that you’ll want to keep watching the dance rather than the ball-tossing.

If you’re unsure what to pick, this is one song I highly recommend.
