Refreshing Cool Cheer 'THE FINAL'
The summer event “Soryo Kobu THE FINAL” held at Tokyo Disneyland in 2013 featured this song that dramatically heightened the excitement of the final showdown.
The opening section where Mickey Mouse dances has a cool melody, while the subsequent section for Goofy is crafted with a cute melody.
The appeal lies in how the music is tailored to each character.
Whether you’ve seen the show or not, clap along and get into the venue spirit!
Saikyo-Kabu
The event “Sairyo-Kabu” was held at Tokyo Disneyland in 2016, and this is the song that played there.
In this show, characters split into four teams—Sai (Color), Ryo (Cool), Hana (Blossom), and Yubu (Playful Dance)—and deliver a dazzling performance.
In the Sai team segment with Chip, Dale, and Clarice, the music features chants from various Japanese festivals.
For Goofy and Max’s Ryo team, a cool number with striking horn parts plays.
Minnie and Daisy’s Hana team features melodies that evoke elegant Japanese scenery, and in the final Yubu team segment with Mickey, Pluto, and Donald, powerful taiko drums and shamisen resound.
With its variety of music that energizes both summer and the festival atmosphere, it’s perfect as BGM for summer events!
Garyo Gunbu: Matsuri Time
The event “Miyabi-Ryo Gunbu” was held at Tokyo Disneyland in 2014.
Compared to the previous two years, the content changed slightly, unfolding a story in which two teams competed against each other.
The song used for both teams’ entrances and exits was “Miyabi-Ryo Gunbu: Matsuri Time.” It features a powerful sound that heightens anticipation for the show.
The unique choice of words in the title and the slower tempo, which makes it easy to groove to, are also appealing.
It’s also recommended to enjoy it by combining it with dance.

The way the song builds as if the characters are passing the mic in a relay, leading into the rap section, is another fun highlight.
It all comes together as a high-energy track that feels like a roller coaster ride.
