Exchange Question

Does anyone know what Japan is referring to in this exchange? This is from page two, it would be nice to know so I can clarify it to the reader and to myself!

Italy: "GAH! Bulgaria! Ciao Ciao!" Japan: "Italy. You forgot to do the "DUN DUN". Germany: "What was that exchange before the greetings all about?!"

I want to know too! The Japanese is ジャーンジャー if that helps for the sound Japan makes. I feel like I'm missing something that has to do with Hetalia in particular, searching with my limited knowledge of Japanese has been futile so far...also, I'm truly not sure if what my summery is happens to be right, so please let me know if I've done something wrong! --TheMusicGirl (talk) 02:20, 31 January 2016 (CST)
