Tried dancing Doraemon! [Playtime] [Dance] [Kirari Nursery School]

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!

Back Number – Hanako-san on a High Pedestal

I think all of back number’s songs feel great to sing, but this one might rank pretty high even among them.

“Takane no Hanako-san” is powerful right from the opening, and the whole song is full of standout moments.

It’s a fast-tempo track with a real sense of drive.

And above all, for me personally, if you nail that final line after the chorus, it feels absolutely amazing! It’s a number that makes me want to head to karaoke and sing it right now!
