Tokyo Disneyland Halloween Spooky "Boo!" Parade
I wrote the signature song for a Halloween parade at Tokyo Disneyland which ran for two years until the Covid pandemic. It provided me with one of those rare opportunities to truly go over-the-top as a lyricist and arranger.
Not only do the lyrics encourage guests to celebrate, scream, and let go of their ghostly inhibitions — but the song also features a signature keyboard riff (doubled by organ and harpsichord) that’s used throughout the soundtrack. And to top it all off, I even wrote a dub-step rap section which is sung by the ghoulish haunts as they encourage attendees to give into their spooky inclinations.

This submission demo features the entirety of my arrangement — including the epic ghost rap at the end! I truly went all-out on the production for this one with full orchestra programming and Broadway-style chorus.
