The official website for the band Mr. Children announced on Tuesday that the group is performing the theme song “Birthday” for the 2020 Doraemon film Eiga Doraemon: Nobita no Shin Kyoryū (Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s New Dinosaur).
The film has a manga adaptation in Coro Coro Comics that launched in September.
Kazuaki Imai, an episode director on the Doraemon television anime, and the director of 2018’s Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island film, is directing the 40th film.
Despite the film’s similarity in title to Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Dinosaur, the first film in the franchise, the story is completely different.
