Giant Centipede and Woolly Mammoth Breakdancing

I spent all my early years watching Gachapin and Mukku on child TV shows on Channel 3, but this is the first time I've ever seen them breakdancing. I guess you could say these two were like the Barney of Japan—they sat down with circles of kids and sang silly tunes, taught the alphabet and simple addition in slow happy voices, and made a lot of useless gestures with their arms. Obviously, now they're into other shit.

By the way, does anyone know what exactly these two characters are supposed to be? My guess: a centipede and a woolly mammoth.  But it doesn't really make sense—at all!—that they're the exact same size.

Gachapin is a "Child Dinosaur" and Mukku is a "Child Bigfoot".

He might be a "Child Dinosaur", but if you remember the cartoon, he can also fly and has some "super-like" powers. I am pretty sure he came from space....
