Super Cool Dance Heat

Souryo Kobu 2013 “Super Cool Dance Heat” audio track

Among the songs used in 2013, the shortest yet most impactful was “Super Cool Dance Heat.” It’s a number with a Yosakoi-like vibe that repeatedly chants the event title, “Soryo Kobu.” Because it was used on various characters’ stages, it’s one of the tracks that comes to mind first.

There’s an English section in the middle, and that part conveys the message, “Let’s blow away the heat together.”

2013’s “Soryo Kobu THE ENBU.” Many songs were featured, but if we’re talking about the most high-energy track, it has to be “Rhythmic Latin Beat.” This song was used for performances by characters like Chip ‘n’ Dale and José Carioca.

There’s a long section where everyone shouts together, making it especially exciting.

It’s also fun how the tempo gradually speeds up and the number of call-and-response shouts increases.

Sparkling Summer Stars

Various songs were used in “Soryo Kobu THE ENBU,” right? Among them, the one that drew attention for its distinct vibe was “Sparkling Summer Stars.” It’s the song for Minnie Mouse and Daisy’s team, and it’s crafted with a girly feel to match the characters.

The sampled sound of Minnie Mouse’s laughter partway through is also memorable.

Another notable feature is that it’s sung in a generally high register, which may well be an intentional choice to reflect Minnie and Daisy.

The rock-inspired melody and costumes are another charm you won’t find in the other songs.
