The song Doraemon, which shares its name with the beloved national anime and serves as its opening theme, is also highly recommended.

This piece was specially written by Gen Hoshino for the anime’s feature film.

The lyrics evoke the anime’s story and characters, and the inclusion of comical phrases makes it a fun song to work with.

The chorus is notable for its repeated identical sounds, so choreographing tightly connected, rapid movements for that section would likely be a great fit.
