[Doraemon] A Comprehensive Collection of Piano Sheet Music for All Theme Songs (1–10)
Doraemon: Make My Dreams Come Truemao
Yume wo Kanaete Doraemon, sung by singer-songwriter mao, was used as the anime’s opening theme from 2007 to 2019.
Its march-like rhythm and bright sound make it an empowering song.
The melody is easy to remember, and the chord progression is simple, so it’s also recommended for those who want to try playing it on the piano.
Start with an easy arrangement where the left hand plays only the bass notes, and once you get used to it, try a version like the sheet music introduced here, where rhythm is added to the left-hand accompaniment.
DoraemonHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino’s “Doraemon,” written as the theme song for the 2018 film Doraemon: Nobita’s Treasure Island.
The heartfelt lyrics perfectly capture the world of Doraemon, while the catchy melody and lively sound are quintessentially Gen Hoshino.
The two worlds match beautifully, resulting in an impactful work that firmly grips many listeners’ hearts.
At first glance, the piano sheet music may seem rhythmically complex, but because the vocal range is relatively narrow and many phrases repeat, it’s approachable even for beginner pianists!
rainbowSuda Masaki
Masaki Suda’s “Niji,” chosen as the theme song for the 2020 film STAND BY ME Doraemon 2, became a major hit, achieving milestones such as No.
2 in downloads on the Billboard Japan charts and surpassing 100 million total streams.
With a simple structure that progresses through basic chords, it’s a piece that even beginner pianists will find approachable.
Try performing it while keeping a relaxed tempo and imagining the humble, heartwarming lyrics filled with gratitude for the people who stay by your side.
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
Hata Motohiro’s “Himawari no Yakusoku” (Promise of a Sunflower) was written as the theme song for the 2014 film STAND BY ME Doraemon.
The warm yet bittersweet lyrics depicting the relationship between Doraemon and Nobita are particularly memorable.
Because it portrays bonds and deep affection, it has become a staple song for weddings, and it is often performed at receptions as a solo vocal-and-guitar piece or as a piano solo.
For a more moving piano performance, play the conversational passages lightly, and in the soaring sections use the weight of your arms to produce a deeper sound.
BirthdayMr.Children
Mr.
Children’s “Birthday,” written as the theme song for the 2020 film Doraemon: Nobita’s New Dinosaur, features an unforgettable, catchy melody, Kazutoshi Sakurai’s straightforward vocals, and lyrics with a strong, uplifting message that perfectly match the film’s worldview depicting the bond between Doraemon and Nobita.
When performing it on piano, carefully articulate each note of the melody with its distinctive rhythm, and keep a steady tempo with your left hand while playing with a constant sense of forward motion.
Make my heartHirai Ken
Ken Hirai’s “Boku no Kokoro o Tsukutte yo,” written as the theme song for the 2017 film Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Great Adventure in the Antarctic Kachi Kochi, is a medium-tempo ballad produced in response to a request for “a quiet song.” Its gentle, tender melody and lyrics drew significant attention.
The charming relationship depicted in the lyrics perfectly mirrors Doraemon and Nobita themselves.
The warm, embracing atmosphere pairs beautifully with the piano’s simple, soft timbre.
With its relaxed tempo, try performing it carefully, giving attention to each and every note.
UniverseOfisharu Higedan Dism
Universe by Official HIGE DANDism was written for the 2022 film Doraemon: Nobita’s Little Star Wars 2021.
With lyrics that gently encourage those anxious about an uncertain future and an upbeat sound, it’s a song that gives you courage.
While many Official HIGE DANDism songs feature complex chord progressions, this one isn’t overly complicated, making it easier to read the score when attempting a piano performance.
If you’ve thought, “I want to play a HIGE DANDism song, but they’re all so difficult…,” why not start by challenging yourself with this one?
