Popular songs from the Disney Summer Festival (1–10)
Super Cool Dance Heat

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.”
Rhythmic Latin Beat ~ featuring Claris

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.
Refreshing Rally “The Hot Challenge” Match 4: Wild Wild Heart vs. The Secret Challengers

The summer event at Tokyo Disneyland, “So-ryo-Kobu: The Hot Challenge.” This is the music used in the fourth match, Wild Wild Heart vs.
The Secret Challengers.
It opens with a melody reminiscent of folk music.
If you were there, you probably remember everyone clapping along to the rhythm.
Then, in the latter half, it modulates sharply and shifts into a rough, rock-like sound.
That part played during the scene where water splashed into the audience.
Refreshing Cheering “The Hot Challenge” Match 3: Paradise Pop Pack vs. Rhythmic Beat Makers

This number is the one that energized the third round of “So-ryo Kobu: The Hot Challenge,” the summer 2012 event that heated up Tokyo Disneyland.
In the third round, Donald’s group, the Paradise Pop Pack, faced off against Chip and Dale’s group, the Rhythmic Beat Makers.
During Donald’s segment, a catchy pop tune that everyone can clap along to plays, with Donald’s distinctive voice adding a great accent to the track.
Then, in Chip and Dale’s segment, a groove-inducing number blends tropical and traditional Japanese vibes.
How about using it as background music for an event where friends and family can all have fun together?
Refreshing Cool Cheer 'THE FINAL'

The summer event “Soryo Kobu THE FINAL” held at Tokyo Disneyland in 2013 featured this song that dramatically heightened the excitement of the final showdown.
The opening section where Mickey Mouse dances has a cool melody, while the subsequent section for Goofy is crafted with a cute melody.
The appeal lies in how the music is tailored to each character.
Whether you’ve seen the show or not, clap along and get into the venue spirit!
Festival Fires

One of the most memorable pieces that closed the daytime segment of “So Ryo Kogu THE ENBU” is “Omatsuri Fires.” You can tell right away when you hear it that it’s the track Donald Duck used—he actually sings in the first half.
The unique production is surprising, and his adorable singing voice is soothing.
The rock-inspired melody and costumes are another charm you won’t find in the other songs.
Singing along with Donald Duck could be a fun way to enjoy it, too.
You can actually tell he uses several different vocal patterns.
