[Listen to the first chorus] The standalone CD of "Children's Bon Dance Song," famous for the "Shanko-Shanko" tune, will be released on July 30th! Original fans will also be distributed.
"Shanko shanko shanko shashan ga shan..." This phrase, etched in the memories of summer for Hokkaido residents, is finally being released as a standalone CD this summer! "Children's Bon Dance Songs" will be released on July 30, 2025, and has become so popular that it is running out of stock in stores and online. In addition, some CD shops in Hokkaido have begun distributing "special fans" for free.
"Shanko-Shanko," a song that remains in the hearts of Hokkaido residents, is finally released as a standalone CD
Speaking of summer in Hokkaido, the "Children's Bon Dance" is a dance performed around a stage. Everyone has heard the melody and the phrase "Shanko ♪ Shanko ♪" at least once as a child... After about 70 years, this "Children's Bon Dance Song" has been released as a standalone CD for the first time.
The CD, released on July 30, 2025, is a long-play version that can play for approximately one hour, 25 times in a row. This makes it convenient and easy to use at neighborhood association and local festivals, as well as actual Bon Odori dances!
"A bigger response than expected" - shortages in some stores and online stores
This CD uses a reproduction of the film jacket from when it was released on cassette in 2002. In addition to the lyrics and choreography from that time, it also comes with a new explanatory booklet, making it a CD filled with nostalgia and newness.
The response was greater than expected, with shortages occurring at various retailers and online stores immediately after the product was released, and the manufacturer is currently working hard to produce more.
Free fan distribution has also started! Check the store list and distribution status in advance
To celebrate the release of this CD, we have also started distributing free original fans! The dazzling orange jacket is printed directly on the fan. Distribution has started in CD shops in Hokkaido, but please note that once stock runs out at each store, they will end.
