Tari-rari-ran no KonyanyachiwaKoromubia Yurikago-kai

This is the theme song of “Ganso Tensai Bakabon.” Unlike the original “Tensai Bakabon” theme, it’s crafted with a space motif and carries a somewhat grander sense of scale.

The very surreal worldview of “Bakabon’s Papa” leaves a lasting impression, and I still think he’s a great figure.
