Seal☆Harehare!Yokoyama Daisuke / Mitani Takumi
Kids love sticking stickers, don’t they? Without meaning any harm, they end up putting them in all sorts of places, and later Mom or Dad might be troubled, thinking, “Here of all places!” This song makes sticking stickers irresistibly fun.
If they stick them while singing this song, you’ll immediately notice when the sticker session has started—which is quite helpful (lol).
