Saikyo-Kabu

The event “Sairyo-Kabu” was held at Tokyo Disneyland in 2016, and this is the song that played there.
In this show, characters split into four teams—Sai (Color), Ryo (Cool), Hana (Blossom), and Yubu (Playful Dance)—and deliver a dazzling performance.
In the Sai team segment with Chip, Dale, and Clarice, the music features chants from various Japanese festivals.
For Goofy and Max’s Ryo team, a cool number with striking horn parts plays.
Minnie and Daisy’s Hana team features melodies that evoke elegant Japanese scenery, and in the final Yubu team segment with Mickey, Pluto, and Donald, powerful taiko drums and shamisen resound.
With its variety of music that energizes both summer and the festival atmosphere, it’s perfect as BGM for summer events!
Garyo Gunbu: Matsuri Time

The event “Miyabi-Ryo Gunbu” was held at Tokyo Disneyland in 2014.
Compared to the previous two years, the content changed slightly, unfolding a story in which two teams competed against each other.
The song used for both teams’ entrances and exits was “Miyabi-Ryo Gunbu: Matsuri Time.” It features a powerful sound that heightens anticipation for the show.
The unique choice of words in the title and the slower tempo, which makes it easy to groove to, are also appealing.
It’s also recommended to enjoy it by combining it with dance.
Mickey Ondo (Mickey Bon Dance Song)

The program that symbolizes the 2014 “Disney Summer Festival” is Ondokodon.
It’s a Japanese-themed event where you dance and have fun together with the characters who appear.
The set piece for it was “Mickey Ondo.” This piece features a melody and choreography reminiscent of a traditional Bon dance.
Since a choreography tutorial video is available, how about practicing and taking it on with everyone? By the way, there are versions of this ondo for other characters as well.
Elegant Cool Group Dance: Swift Wind of Refreshing Dance, Soar!

The summer dance event “Miyabiyasu Gunbu,” held in 2015, featured teams competing against each other, and the Mickey Mouse team used the song “Ryo-bu Shippu: Sho!” Its charm lies in the inclusion of Mickey’s laughter and the cheers of his friends throughout the track.
The way the song builds as if the characters are passing the mic in a relay, leading into the rap section, is another fun highlight.
It all comes together as a high-energy track that feels like a roller coaster ride.
