Chacha

Artist

Chacha is a singing name closely tied to the title character of the TV Tokyo anime 'Kyoro-chan', under which the dual-purpose opening and ending theme 'Kyoro-chan deshu' was performed. Co-written by the singer with Jun Yokoyama, composed by Haruo Chikada's composition workshop and arranged by Chikada, the song matched the world of a children's anime built around the long-running Morinaga Chocoball mascot, supporting the slapstick comedy of the main story with a comical, danceable rhythm and a catchy call-and-response. The track also doubled as the image song for Chocoball commercials and Takara Tomy toy tie-ins, and is remembered as an anime song that symbolizes the cross-media link between anime, toys and confectionery.
