Kihon wa Maru

Kihon wa Maru (literally: First You Draw A Circle) was the original Japanese ending credits theme to the Kirby Anime Series. This was changed in later episodes. The song was sung by Shanchii, who also sang the intro theme, Kirby March.

Trivia
In the Episode Abusement Park Kirby gets the Microphone ability and sings this song in his "Poyo" language at the part of King Dedede's "karaoke contest". His name and Dedede's name are the only other words he says (pronounced as they were in Japan, "Kaabii" and "DehDehDeh" respectively). This remained in the dubbed version.
