To celebrate the release of the DOTA: Dragon’s Blood anime, Netflix embarked on an interesting promotion campaign for the series. Aside from tapping Basshunter for a new Dota video, Netflix also created a sequel for “DOTA O Ako,” an iconic song from 10 years ago that long-time Pinoy DOTA fans are definitely familiar with.
The sequel is an all-new song titled ‘DOTA At Ako’ starring Aikee and Vanessa (the original stars of DOTA O Ako). This new song also comes with a cheesy, Pinoy videoke style music video.
Check it out here:
“To be honest, I can’t even imagine that my song 10 years ago ay magkakaroon ng sequel at hindi lang basta sequel bagkus sequel ito with Netflix,” says Aikee. “Kaya sobrang saya po ng puso ko dahil nabigyan ulit ng chance ang awiting tumatak sa tao isang dekada na ang nakalipas.”
“I was so excited in general to be working with Aikee again cause it has really been a long time since our collaboration — 10 years ago to be exact. We’ve gotten so busy individually with our careers so it was definitely time to catch up and reminisce in a super memorable and major way!” adds Vanessa. “So when I got the call to do a remake I immediately canceled my schedule and confirmed! I knew I was gonna do it! I had to do it for sure! And especially ecstatic to do the sequel with Netflix because I am OBSESSED!”
DOTA: Dragon’s Blood is now streaming exclusively on Netflix. For more info on the series, check out our full review of the anime.
