"Mobo★Moga" is an abbreviation of "Modern Boy・Modern Girl", but this song title is directly taken from a delicious restaurant in Shibuya called Mobo Moga that I used to visit.

This cute French pops starts with piano playing and light percussion. The whispery female vocals perfectly match the polished melody. This fashionable song sounds like it was from a one scene cut in a French movie. By the way, the title "Mobo・Moga" is an abbreviation of "Modern Boy・Modern Girl". If anything, won't you decide to dance while wearing French-styled fashion?

It was a very cute song, so I made a video using twin girls with a theme of a "POP LIFE-like playing house" (because the two things that are symmetrical is a cute image).<br>

This song is adorable, so I drew a picture of large eyes. (It's a bit scary though..) The song's sequences are relatively difficult! That gap is probably great.

It's fairy tale-like~! I wanted to make the movie like that. A toy airplane is spinning in the background of the Ferris wheel movie. Did you notice it? It's a movie with a spinning person's silhouette dancing. I've never done ballroom dancing, but I tried to create a dance with that image.
