To be precise , the title is a tongue twister that sounds like “Shikanokokonokokoshitantan,” but the slightly unusual approach has been getting a lot of attention. Please take a look at this first.
This was posted on the official X (formerly Twitter) account 2.5 hours before the ABEMA terrestrial advance and world’s fastest broadcast of “Shika no Koko no Kokoshitantan” on July 3rd. Quoting a post from “Oshi no Ko,” which will begin broadcasting the first episode of its second season in just 2 hours, he not only quoted the post
“I’ll be your deer’s child,”
but also said a line that sounded familiar…
Oshio Shio, the original author of “Shikano Konokono Kokoshitantan,” which is serialized in Kodansha’s “Magazine Pocket,” was also worried, but “Shikano Konokono Kokoshitantan” is a summer anime that is going to do such dangerous things.
Both the main character of “Shikanokokonokokoshitantan” and Arima Kana, who appears in “Oshi no Ko”, are voiced by voice actress Megumi Han . Even Megumi Han seemed a little confused by the previous post.
Even if you’re not familiar with “Shikanokokonokokoshitantan,” I’m sure many of you have heard the intro to the opening theme song, “Shikairo Days.”
On May 28th, a video of Koshi Torako (nicknamed Koshitan) dancing to the repeating intro “Shikanokokonokokoshitantan” was released on TikTok, and it became a buzz with 10 million views , making “Koshitan” a celebrity. More and more people are posting videos of themselves dancing the Shikanoko dance!
As of July 7th, the video had been viewed over 16 million times , and the number of likes had also reached the 1 million mark.
On the same day, a 1-hour intro video was released on YouTube , which also had 6.4 million views as of July 7th.
“This is an effective song for those who can’t remember long titles…! But want to remember them…!” the
official message accompanying the video is, “You’ll have horns growing out of your head in an hour… I’m sure…” If you listen to this, you’ll definitely have horns growing out of your head in an hour…
Amane Kanata, a Hololive VTuber whose character design was done by Oshioshio, is also dancing. Cute.
Now, this work, commonly known as “Shikanoko,” is a heartwarming comedy with animation produced by WIT STUDIO , the studio behind “SPY×FAMILY” and “Ranking of Kings.”
One day, high school girl Koshi Torako is walking to school when she feels someone looking at her, and when she looks up she sees a girl with horns caught on an electric wire! This is a girl-meets-deer story in which Koshi Torako and the horned girl Kanoko meet.
Also, the fourth Tuesday of every month is “Deer Day,” and a new fictional commercial was released in June. They aim to create a peaceful world.
The place where the illustrations for the countdown to the anime broadcast of “Shikanoko” were ordered was also unexpected. Six days before the start of distribution, it was Irasutoya!
Speaking of deer, Nara Prefecture comes to mind, and immediately after the decision was made to make an animated series, Nara Prefecture’s mascot character, Sento-kun, also made a comment.
That’s how Shikanoko has been getting a lot of attention even before the anime airs on July 7th, and the non-credited OP video “Shikairo Days,” released after the pre-release, has already exceeded 5 million views. A scary deer.
You can listen to the rest of the intro “Shikanokokonokokoshitantan”. In addition, in the post that has exceeded 1 million views, it was added that “Currently, Shikanoko Official is not accepting questions about what the intro dance was…”, so the truth of that dance remains a mystery.
With over 5 million views, Pan has declared, “If it reaches 10 million views, I’ll sing it live!!” But it’s only a matter of time.
X’s follower count seems to be going haywire. Before he even had time to celebrate reaching 90,000 followers, he has already surpassed the 100,000 mark and reached 120,000 followers. A deer’s jump, for sure.
The uncredited ED video “Song of Deer Crackers” has also been released. It’s a video full of deer flavor, and a soothing deer. So that’s how deer crackers are made.
This concludes our introduction to the summer anime “Shikanoko”, also known as “Shikanoko no Kokoshitantan”. It will be broadcast on TOKYO MX, BS Nippon TV and other stations from 23:30 every Sunday starting July 7th. Are you ready to watch it?
