If Narashi is otherwise happy and healthy he may just be excited and playful and thus is flapping around and moving. If he seems in distress, can't balance, or is showing other signs of illness, then an issue such as illness, injury, neurologic or muscular issues, etc may be causing it. If you suspect this may be the case, an exam from your vet is best.
