Shoko-tan and Yuho Iwasato wrote the lyrics while Hanazawa composed and arranged this cheerful poppy dance tune. Shoko-tan stated that while she was working on the lyrics for “Fure Fure”, her thoughts were centered on wishing everyone happiness in joy, especially during this difficult time. The dance for “Fure Fure” was handled by Neo, who is a model, video creator, talent, and artist. Hakusho Daimao 2020 will begin airing July 11. You can catch it on Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV!
