The new Doraemon movie, "Doraemon: Nobita’s Secret Gadget Museum", will be released on Mar. 9, 2013. The J-Pop group Perfume has been selected to perform the theme song to the movie. This will be a collaboration between two of the world’s well-loved pop icons: everyone's favorite cat from the future, Doraemon, and the internationally renowned, popular techno-pop girl group, Perfume.
The song is titled "The Future Museum", and is distinctly "Perfume-style" while aptly conveying the fantastical world of Doraemon. The single will go on sale in the spring of 2013, and there is high anticipation for its release.
The collaboration was unexpectedly announced on Nov. 24 at the last stop of Perfume's first world tour, titled "Perfume WORLD TOUR 1st", in Singapore. During the encore for the concert, a Doraemon mascot appeared as a special guest while the Perfume members announced the good news. The concert was streamed live in 67 cinemas throughout Japan, as well as in selected theaters in Taiwan. The announcement was indeed a pleasant surprise for fans.
