Tokyo Disneyland previewed a new entertainment program, The D-Groovationz4 Live: Happy! Funky! Groovy! Tour, on September 29, 2026, ahead of its opening on September 30. The show is centered on the live vocals of the four-member dance and vocal group The D-Groovationz4 and runs about 25 minutes, performed four to five times a day. It replaces Club Mouse Beat, which ended on March 31, and is staged at the Showbase in Tomorrowland. Alongside Mickey and Minnie, Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph and Baymax from Big Hero 6 appear, marking their first stage show appearances at Tokyo Disney Resort. The set includes Disney songs with inventive arrangements plus original songs, and worlds evoking Wreck-It Ralph and Moana 2. The show also features a microphone-stand routine set to It's a Small World, and in the finale the performers change costumes and bring the audience into the closing number.
The staging belongs to the four vocalists. The show opens with the four standing in a row and closes the same way, and the characters move around them rather than headlining.
Character pairings are split across the run. Vanellope interacts with Minnie, while Baymax interacts with Donald and Goofy, and both get extended time on stage. In the second half, Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy work a microphone-stand routine to "It's a Small World," kicking the stands up and catching them.
Near the end, the performers and characters leave the stage and move among the audience. GAME Watch critic Shunsuke Yasuda, writing from the September 29 preview, described Minnie coming to the seat directly in front of him and greeting the guests there.
Yasuda filed two pieces that day, publishing a review at 14:18 and a news report at 13:03. He wrote that the vocals carry the roughly 25 minute set: "The live singing performance is cool and the show is exciting, so I hope you will see it in person."
