Dance along with the adorable Pocket Monster, or stay in your seat and sing along with the equally cute lyrics.
Though Pikachu remains the face of the Pokémon franchise, this year Normal-type Pocket Monster Eevee has also been getting plenty of time in the limelight. Between her company visits and heart-melting antics as part of the annual summer Pokémon outbreak in the city of Yokohama, it seems like Eevee’s been everywhere we look over the past few months.
Of course, with a character as cute as Eevee, we’re always ready for more, and so now she’s matching Pikachu step for step again. A few years back, the Pokémon Company created an official dance for Pikachu, and now Eevee has one too, demonstrated in the video below and set to the sounds of “Eevee March,” the official theme song of the ongoing Project Eevee.
The dance isn’t all that difficult to do yourself, since none of the footwork is much more complicated than running or hopping in place. But if you’d rather sing along than dance along, we’re happy to help on that front too (plus let you know what the lyrics mean).
Iibui, bui! Tsuburana hitomi
(Eevee, vee! Your big round eyes)
Me ha au to kougekiryoku teika
(When I look into them, my attack power drops)
Iibui, bui! Bokura no mirai
(Eevee, vee! Our future together)
Irodori ga yukata de tanoshii Iibui
(Eevee, it’s going to be so colorful and fun)
Mofu mofu, kira kira
(Fluffy fluffy, shiny shiny)
Mogyu mogyu, nade nade
(Squeeze squeeze, pat pat)
Hajimemashite kimi to no deai
(Since you and I first met)
Sore kara zutto itsumo futari
(We’ve been together every day)
Ohayou kara oyasumi made no
(From “Good morning” to “Good night”)
Mainichi ga hora eboryuushon
(Every day is an evolution)
Ochikonda hi mo kanashii hi mo
(Even on the days when I’m feeling beaten or sad)
Kimi to issho ni iru kara
(Since I’m with you)
Saa, waratte, bui sain!
(I can keep laughing, come on, victory sign!)
Iibui, bui! Minna de rettsu mofu mofu

Nee shitteru? Dandan kimi to
(Hey, did you notice?)
Kao mo ugoki mo nitekita koto
(Little by little, we’re starting to look and act alike)
Nakayoku natta akashi nan da yo
(It’s proof of our friendship)
Kyou mo futari de eboryuushon
(Today, we’re going to evolve together again)
Shippai nanka kowakunai
(I’m not scared of failure)
Kimi to issho ni iru kara
(Because you’re with me)
Saa, tachiagatte bui sain
(Come on, stand up, victory sign!)
Shujinkou ha kimi da
(You’re the star of this story)
Omou mama ni arukou
(So keep on going, as far as you want)
Sukoshi zutsu demo mae in susumeba ii, Iibui
(All you need to do is keep moving forward, little by little, Eevee)
Iibui, bui! Tsuburana hitomi
(Eevee, vee! Your big round eyes)
Me ha au to kougekiryoku teika
(When I look into them, my attack power drops)
Iibui, bui! Bokura no mirai
(Eevee, vee! Our future together)
Irodori ga yukata de tanoshii Iibui
(Eevee, it’s going to be so colorful and fun)
Iibui, bui! Minna de rettsu mofu mofu
(Eevee, vee! Everyone, let’s feel fluffy fluffy)
Aa, iyashi no kouka wa batsugun da

Iibui, bui! Bokura no mirai
(Eevee, vee! Our future together)
Shinka shite iku zo, saa bui bui!
(Is gonna keep on evolving, come on, V, V!)
Mofu mofu, kira kira
(Fluffy fluffy, shiny shiny)
Mogyu mogyu, nade nade
(Squeeze squeeze, pat pat)
And there you have it: the song that’ll be stuck in your head for the rest of the day…at least until you drive it out with the theme songs for Eevee’s fellow Pokémon Magikarp and Mimikyu.
