STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION (SDF) and NANO recently performed together in Germany, premiering “Dream Big”—DoKomi’s first official theme song—on May 29, the opening day of the convention. Two days later, on May 31, the artists held individual concerts and later teamed again up to perform Dream Big. To wrap up the event, the artists also unveiled the song’s animated music video at the end of their gig.

Last year, DoKomi confirmed both artists as co-producers and performers of the anthem. When the first day of the convention finally arrived on May 29, Dream Big was released on digital platforms followed by SDF and NANO performing the song live during DoKomi’s opening ceremony.

Two days later, SDF and NANO also held separate concerts on DoKomi’s main stage. NANO took the spotlight first together with guitarist Shin. During the show, NANO asked a question to find out which attendees had previously attended NANO’s past shows at DoKomi in 2013 and 2015. After witnessing the crowd’s overwhelming response, NANO remarked that it felt like being a parent watching their child grow. Later in the show, NANO even stepped down from the stage to interact with fans, holding hands with them.

At SDF’s show, video backdrops of opening sequences and iconic anime scenes played behind him as he performed the best of his long anison repertoire. He then surprised the audience by addressing them in German, a language he grew up speaking during his childhood in Frankfurt.

After SDF’s solo performance, NANO joined him to perform Dream Big together. As a final gift to DoKomi’s community, the convention projected the song’s animated music video, which depicted attendees enjoying the convention through various animated scenes and activities. NANO, who acted as the track’s lyricist, also released the full lyrics on X (formerly Twitter).
