Gen Hoshino – Doraemon (Official Video)

Gen Hoshino’s Doraemon theme song is loved by people of all ages.

The song’s overall vocal range is B2 to F4, which makes it quite easy to sing.

In the chorus, where the “do” sounds continue, it’s very important to lock into the rhythm.

The sections that share the same rhythm and timing are just as important.

It’s best to pronounce the words with a light, detailed delivery rather than too crisply.

In the pre-chorus (B-melody), projecting your voice with a big, expansive feel will enhance your expressiveness.

Try singing with an upbeat, fun energy!
