Karada Dandan99rank/position

[2021 Latest] “Karada☆Dandan” from Okaasan to Issho – Full Live-Action Version by Ear (Full Cover), High-Quality Version [Dance]
Karada Dandan

A popular song that’s also danced to on NHK’s children’s program “Okaasan to Issho.” Because it’s up-tempo, it’s recommended if you want to boost the energy at a sports day.

The lyrics are packed with a gesture-game vibe where kids act like the creatures that appear, so even younger children might perform it with enthusiasm.

Under the sea you become crabs and shrimp; on land you switch to dinosaurs and monkeys.

Each animal has distinctive traits, so the dance moves should be easy to grasp.

The lively chorus is lots of fun, too!

A song filled with warm feelings for one’s mother, it’s very popular during the season of farewells.

Released as Kiroro’s second single on an 8cm CD in June 1998 and re-released on a 12cm CD in February 2002, this classic is also included on the album “Nagaisakan—Kiroro no Mori.” Written by vocalist Chiharu Tamashiro when she was in junior high school, its gentle words and melody speak straight to the heart.

Perfect for a transfer ceremony marking a parting with a beloved teacher, to express gratitude.
