10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

A collection of Doraemon quotes that will cheer you up without fail! Words that gently resonate in your heart (21–30)

Money is something you earn by working for it yourself.NEW!Dorami-chan

With only a single 100-yen coin of pocket money left, Nobita asks Dorami if she has any tools for a treasure hunt.

Dorami refuses and tells him this: Even if you use an all-purpose gadget to find treasure and increase your money, you won’t understand the true weight of money.

You only grasp that by working hard and earning it.

Her words may have sounded harsh to Nobita, who is always being helped by Doraemon.

But if you misuse money, it can ruin you, so it’s important to teach that value clearly from childhood.

One of my strengths is that I know when to give up.NEW!Nobi Nobita

This is a forceful line from Nobita that boldly declares a flaw to be a strength—so boldly it can even feel a bit contrived.

Saying “I give up quickly” usually brings a bad image to mind, but if you think of it as being good at switching gears and quickly moving on to the next thing, it starts to sound positive, doesn’t it? The idea of giving up on what won’t work right away, or relying on others for what you can’t do yourself, also conveys an awareness of one’s own capabilities.

It’s a message that conveys a forward-looking attitude—deliberately expressing something negative in a positive way.

It’s okay to be late—just keep trying until the end.NEW!Doraemon

People tend to compare themselves with others.

And when they realize they’re not as good as someone else, they get discouraged or lose motivation.

In times like that, remember this famous line from Doraemon: even if you’re slower than others at whatever you do, what matters is persevering to the end.

Not doing something, or giving up halfway, becomes a negative experience—but the experience of seeing it through and the sense of accomplishment will surely become your strength.

Don’t compare yourself to those around you; just give your all with the abilities you have now.

Just once, try seriously agonizing over it.NEW!Doraemon

It’s a line that forcefully rejects Nobita’s claim that he’s troubled and hits him with the idea that he should take his worries more seriously.

It conveys that Nobita, who tries to rely on others right away, isn’t actually troubled—he’s just being dependent; if he truly grappled with his problems, he should be able to see solutions without leaning on anyone.

It also speaks clearly about the importance of thinking deeply about one’s worries and reflecting on oneself.

It’s the kind of message that urges an improvement in mindset—suggesting that by thinking more deeply about anything, you might see a way to a solution.

Anyone would be happy to be praised, and when someone badmouths you, it makes you mad.NEW!Doraemon

Those are the words Doraemon used to admonish Nobita, who isn’t good with words.

Nobita has a straightforward personality, for better or worse, and he often says exactly what he feels and ends up angering others.

Even if someone tells you to “say what you think,” if you voice an opinion that can be taken as an insult, it’s only natural the other person will feel offended.

This quote teaches the importance of choosing your words from the other person’s standpoint and that there are such things as kind lies in this world—it’s a life lesson, you could say.

After all, words can bring trouble.
