Gummy Choco Pumpkin

Gummy Choco Pumpkin

The sight of children going around asking for treats is an essential part of Halloween, isn’t it? This song is packed with the fun and cuteness of Halloween and sweets as its theme.

The title “Gummy Choco Pumpkin” represents the shapes of hands used in rock-paper-scissors, and these hand shapes are incorporated into the choreography.

With simple moves centered on hand shapes and ghost-like motions, it’s a piece that lets you move your body while feeling the fun and cuteness woven into the music.

Jig's Halloween Costume “Bat Poncho” JJG3886

bat

Let’s try a bat costume, a motif often used for Halloween decorations! Even if you just throw on a black poncho, it will look the part, so there’s no need to overthink it.

That said, simply wearing a poncho can make you look like a witch or Dracula, so cutting the hem into slightly jagged, bat wing–like shapes will make it more convincing.

As Halloween approaches, headbands with bat designs are often sold at 100-yen shops, and wearing one is also recommended.
