My Deer Friend Nokotan is a 2024 anime comedy adapted from Oshioshio's manga, whose Japanese title is Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan. Its opening theme Shikairo Days turned the title phrase into a viral chant in summer 2024, spreading through dance covers, loops and edits on short video platforms. The repeated syllables and the series' deer girl Nokotan made the hook instantly recognisable even to viewers who had never seen an episode, and it remains a shorthand for hyper, deer-themed anime humour online.
About this sound
The catchy Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan chant from the My Deer Friend Nokotan anime opening, used for deer edits, dance loops and anime memes.
This clip is the looping hook from Shikairo Days, the opening song for My Deer Friend Nokotan, built around the tongue-twister chant shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan. A bright female vocal repeats the phrase over bouncy pop instrumentation, with the rhythm getting stuck in your head after one listen. The sound feels cheerful, absurd and slightly hypnotic, matching the anime's deer-obsessed comedy. Listeners often focus on how cleanly the syllables bounce and how the chant keeps circling back without breaking energy, which makes even a short excerpt feel like a complete earworm moment.
