Sketchaimyon
Gently depicting everyday interactions, this song is a heartwarming piece that warmly expresses the friendship between Doraemon and Nobita.
Small mishaps and ordinary moments—like the marks left by glasses after a nap—are woven together with a tender vocal.
Children will empathize with the protagonist’s clumsiness while feeling comforted by Doraemon’s kindness.
The song was written as the theme for the film “Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Picture World Story,” to be released in March 2025.
It marks Aimyon’s first theme song for a Doraemon film, imbued with the feelings of a longtime fan since childhood.
Centered on the theme of drawing and pictures, this work is a song that children and families can enjoy together.
Why not spend time connecting with your loved ones by singing along with a parent or guardian?
TummyRADWIMPS
A fresh song written from a father’s perspective to the baby in the womb.
It’s unique that it begins like a “declaration of war” to the beloved child who will be born from the woman he loves so deeply.
But as you listen on, you feel both his profound love for his partner and his pure, everlasting love for the baby.
It’s a grand-scale love song that brings happiness with its vow of unwavering love to a partner—who can so easily become just “Mom” to his “Dad” once a child arrives—affirming that nothing between them has changed.
somedayShonan no Kaze
“Itsuka,” a solo number by SHOCK EYE of Shonan no Kaze, is a song overflowing with parents’ love for their child.
It’s included on Shonan no Kaze’s 2013 album Shonan no Kaze ~2023~.
With a warm vocal tone, it sings of a child’s lively play every day, the emotion of the day they were born, and hopes for an unimaginable future.
The lyrics promise, “No matter when—whether the day comes when you rebel as you grow, or you run into a huge wall—I will always be on your side,” and are sure to move you.
It’s a song we hope the whole family will listen to together.
pupilaiko
Many of you have probably heard it, since it was featured in a commercial song for the fabric softener Humming.
It’s a track by aiko, a singer-songwriter from Osaka, included on her seventh album “Kanojo,” released in 2006.
The song is a message from aiko herself to a friend who was about to give birth, and everything—the arrangement, the melody, and her vocals—feels gentle.
The lyrics, which wish for a child’s healthy growth, are down-to-earth and filled with hope.
It’s a love song popular at karaoke and recommended for a wide range of generations.
Only the number of starsMayumiinu
Perhaps because of the gentle singing voice, it’s calming to listen to.
It’s a song by Mayuminu, a musician from Kanagawa Prefecture, released as her second single in 2008.
Since it was used in a diaper commercial, many people have probably heard it.
The lyrics, which express gratitude for the baby who was born into their lives, are truly wonderful.
If you listen to it together with your baby, they may not understand the words themselves, of course, but your feelings might come through and make them smile.
