"Doki Doki Morning" (ド・キ・ド・キ☆モーニング Doki Doki Mōningu?), stylized as either "Doki Doki ☆ Morning" or "Do・Ki・Do・Ki ☆ Morning", is a song by the Japanese band Babymetal. The song was released in Japan as a DVD single on October 24, 2011 serving as the first single off the debut album Babymetal.

Background and release

The song's first release was in the Sakura Gakuin album Sakura Gakuin 2010 Nendo: Message.[1] It was later released as a standard digital download and in a limited edition DVD single. The limited edition included a DVD with the "Doki Doki ☆ Morning" music video and a cut of the original video, exclusively featuring choreography for live performances of the song, and a towel embossed with either the logo of the band or the label Juonbu Records.[2]

Live performances

The song premiered at a Sakura Gakuin concert on November 28, 2010, while the band was still the main group's jūonbu, or heavy (metal) music subgroup.[3] Regarding the group's first performance of the song, Su-metal explained, "What I remember clearly was during the interlude […] we all pretend to fall to the ground...I was afraid that people would just laugh at us and it would be embarrassing, but their reaction made me feel happy and at that time I thought this is who Su-metal is, this is what Babymetal is."[4]

In March 2011, the song was covered by fellow Sakura Gakuin members Marina Horiuchi, Ayaka Miyoshi, and Airi Matsui as a "Shuffle Unit" during a Sakura Gakuin concert, where members of different sub-units would cover other sub-units' songs.[5] In December 2013, Hana Taguchi, Saki Ooga, and Aiko Yamaide covered the song as another "Shuffle Unit".[6]
