Just before the Bon Odori festival, the CD for "Children's Bon Odori Song," familiar to all Hokkaido residents for its "Shanko-Shanko" tune, was released on July 30th, and has been on a roll, even making it onto the Oricon charts. What awaited at the end of this success was the unexpected release of the song on a T-shirt! A piece that's sure to turn heads just by wearing it has been born.

The jacket is printed exactly like the original! It sold out in an instant online!

This dazzling orange T-shirt features the exact image from the CD jacket of the recently released "Children's Bon Dance Song." The CD jacket image is a reproduction made using the film from when the SP record was released in 1952. The image of children dancing with Hokkaido in the background and the words "Selected by the Hokkaido Board of Education" written at the top give it a very nice touch.

"Children's Bon Dance Songs" released as a standalone CD over 70 years after its release

The official X website also strongly promotes the design, stating that "even if worn out and given a vintage feel, it still has a tasteful character (using illustrations that have been used for 50 years)." When online sales began on August 5th, the item quickly sold out, and it seems that they are currently considering adding more.

You'll have a chance to purchase the real thing at the Hokkai Bon Odori festival, which will be held at Odori Park from the 13th!

At the "Hokkai Bon Odori" festival held at Odori Park, the "Children's Bon Odori" will be held from 6:00 PM.
