[Doraemon] A Comprehensive Collection of Piano Sheet Music for All Theme Songs (1–10)
My NoteSukima Suichi
Boku Note by Sukima Switch was written as the theme song for the 2006 film Doraemon: Nobita’s Dinosaur 2006.
It’s a song that gives you courage with lyrics carrying the message, “It’s okay to be yourself just as you are.” The lyrics include scenes reflecting the struggles they faced during the song’s production, truly expressing that very “as-is” authenticity.
That may be one reason the song resonated with so many people.
Try playing it on the piano with feeling, picturing its powerful message—or even humming along as you do.
In the pocketŌyama Nobuyo, Yangu Furesshu
“In the Pocket,” the theme song for the 1980 film Doraemon: Nobita’s Dinosaur and the very first theme song in the Doraemon movie series, is a charming piece that perfectly captures the gentle atmosphere of Doraemon’s world, sung by Nobuyo Oyama—famous as the voice of Doraemon—and the chorus group Young Fresh.
Many listeners may feel nostalgic, thinking, “When it comes to Doraemon, this is the song!” Why not enjoy performing it on the piano while recalling scenes from the Doraemon anime and films you’ve watched over the years?
Doraemon SongYamano Satoko
When it comes to Doraemon’s theme song, many people probably think of Doraemon no Uta, which features secret gadgets like the Take-copter and the Anywhere Door.
It began being used as the TV series’ main theme in 1979, and has been passed down through performances by artists such as Kumiko Osugi, Satoko Yamano, and Misato Watanabe.
The triplet feel of the exciting intro, the bouncy rhythm of the melody, and the lyrics filled with memorable phrases—all of it perfectly matches the world of Doraemon! With simple chords that make it easy to play on piano, it’s a great piece to try your hand at.

THE GIFTHirai Dai
“THE GIFT” by Dai Hirai was chosen as the theme song for the 2019 film Doraemon: Nobita’s Chronicle of the Moon Exploration.
Hirai’s fragile, beautiful vocals and deeply moving lyrics captured the hearts of many, sparking comments like, “Having Hirai’s song as the theme is such great taste!” and “I can listen to it over and over!” The song’s worldview pairs perfectly with gentle piano tones.
While keeping a stylish groove, be sure to preserve a natural flow so the sound doesn’t become harsh or the accents unnatural as you play.
360°miwa
“360°” by miwa, which drew attention as the theme song for the 2015 film Doraemon: Nobita’s Space Heroes.
Its lyrics, which teach the importance of human bonds and that everyone is special, perfectly capture the world of Doraemon! With its powerful, poppy vibe, the key on piano is to play energetically and brightly.
Keep the left-hand pulses and right-hand melody rhythms crisp, and aim for a clear tone.
Use the pedal sparingly to avoid muddying the sound.
Museum of the FuturePerfume
Mira no Museum is the theme song for the 2013 film Doraemon: Nobita’s Secret Gadget Museum, and it was Perfume’s first movie theme.
Its pop sound, which evokes a near-future vibe, matches Doraemon’s world perfectly.
It’s not easy to create that futuristic feel on the piano, but if you deliberately suppress the piano’s natural smoothness and bring out distinct note attacks and rhythms, it becomes easier to capture the original song’s atmosphere.
Once you’ve finished reading the score, be sure to focus on tone color as you polish your performance!
Let’s hugNatsukawa Rimi
Hug Shichao by Rimi Natsukawa was used as the opening theme for the anime from 2005 to 2007.
Its irresistibly cheerful sound and positive lyrics—basically saying, “Let’s just hug and keep moving forward!”—have a mysterious power that naturally fills you with energy and strength when you hear them.
The use of Okinawan scales in parts of the melody also feels quite fresh for a Doraemon song! When you play it on the piano, try to keep it lively and groovy so you don’t lose to the power of the original.
