Midnight Amusement ParkChatmonchy

Chatmonchy – Midnight Amusement Park – Zepp Osaka 2011

It’s a song included on Chatmonchy’s third album after their major-label debut, “Seimeiryoku,” released in 2007.

The lyrics were written by member Kumiko Takahashi, and the chorus has a thrilling, rollercoaster-like sense of speed that makes the track really cool.

Exploding Brain Girlrereriri

Brain Fluid Explosion Girl – rerulili feat. Hatsune Miku & GUMI

Nosho Sakuretsu Girl is one of the most popular works among Hatsune Miku songs.

Framed as an absurd survival game, it spotlights the girls’ desperate struggles, driven by a strong club-jazz flavor where piano, drums, and slap bass lead the track.

The rapid-fire vocal delivery amplifies this effect.

The playful, march-like interlude that comes in partway through is also delightful.

AdventureYOASOBI

YOASOBI "Adventure" Official Music Video

A YOASOBI song that portrays the “adventure into the extraordinary” everyone dreams of at least once.

Released in February 2023 as the campaign song for USJ, this piece powerfully expresses, with a driving, up-tempo sound, the joy of stepping out from everyday life and diving into a new world with your friends.

Based on lyrics Ayase wrote from actually visiting USJ, the song celebrates the allure of theme parks—glittering parades and nightscapes—awakening a youthful vibrancy in the listener’s heart.

It’s a perfect track for those seeking energy from the extraordinary or wanting to create memories with cherished friends.

Toy Cha-Cha-Cha

“Toy Cha-Cha-Cha” (with choreography) [Japanese song / shoka]

The classic children’s song “Omocha no Cha-Cha-Cha” is an appealing piece with its bright rhythm and imaginative lyrics about toys coming to life at night.

Beyond being a dance tune, it can also be used for hand-play activities or as a theme for school performances.

Kids who love toys will be excited simply because the song and dance theme is “toys.” It would be fun to include choreography that lets them pretend to be toys and move freely.

It’s a highly recommended song that draws out children’s imagination.

Snack Song

[Children's Song] ♬ The Snack Song <with Choreography>

A hand-play song that makes snack time—something children always look forward to—an even more special moment.

Its short lyrics and rhythmic melody are full of charm that naturally invites clapping along.

Singing while doing the hand movements helps children learn the difference between the right and left hand and supports the development of their hands and fingertips.

This piece will bring a warm, cheerful mood not only to snack time at nurseries and kindergartens, but also at home.

It’s also recommended to sing it as part of a recreation activity on June 10, Time Day.
