On June 16th, the popular group "Travis Japan" appeared at an event for Disney's live-action movie "Lilo & Stitch" (directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp) held in Tokyo. Titled "One Night Only Lilo & Stitch Premium Dance Night," Travis Japan performed the Japanese version's ending song "Burning Love." Kaito Nakamura, a member of the group who voices David in the Japanese version of "Lilo & Stitch," said with delight, "I'm happy that the seven of us can stand on stage and deliver our song 'Burning Love'."
At a preview event held before the release, Nakamura said, "I hope I can sing ("Burning Love") in front of everyone someday." His wish came true, and all seven members of Travis Japan appeared together for the first time at an event for a "one-night-only premium dance night." All the members wore 1980s-style costumes and performed a passionate performance on a special stage that resembled a neon-lit dance floor.
The choreography for "Burning Love," the "Heart Melamera Dance," has also become a hot topic on social media, and at the event, the members gave a lesson in the dance to the audience. The event concluded with the members and audience dancing the Heart Melamera Dance together.
The film is a live-action adaptation of Disney's animation "Lilo & Stitch." Set on the island of Kauai in Hawaii, it is a fantasy that depicts the important bond of "ohana (family)." A young girl named Lilo and her older sister Nani, who have lost their parents, are confronted by Stitch, a rowdy alien who knows no family love. Stitch's unpredictable actions cause chaos on the peaceful island, but this miraculous encounter eventually changes the sisters who were close to losing hope. The film was released on June 6th.
