[KameKore Op.02] I’m Doraemon – Chameleon Music Corps

It’s not a raccoon dog; it’s a cat-type robot.

This is the theme song of Doraemon, one of Japan’s most iconic anime characters, who also appeared in the preview video for the Tokyo Olympics during the closing ceremony of the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Although this version was used before the voice actors were replaced, many people probably still find this one more memorable.

The lyrics by Hiroo Sakata, who was also a children’s literature author, were used on the program “Minna no Uta.”
