Gen Hoshino – Doraemon (Official Video)

Let’s try dancing to Gen Hoshino’s song “Doraemon.” Everyone can wear a bell around their necks, with girls putting yellow Dorami pom-poms on their wrists and boys blue Doraemon pom-poms—colorful, fun, and sure to boost the energy.

The choreography itself is simple and easy to remember, but stepping on one foot and shaking your hips from side to side can also help improve motor skills.

If it’s too difficult, feel free to simplify the movements.

Have fun and give it a try!
