(Unfortunately, Gudetama is too lazy to join in from the start!)
… and Funassyi and his equally enthusiastic friends joining in the fun!
(They may not be quite agile enough to pull off this dance, but they’re cute enough for us to forgive that!)
And why stop there? Dedicated fans have also shown us what it’d be like if these characters were to take a spin at the Koi Dance!
