I won’t forget you.Skirt
Skirt’s clear, translucent singing voice poignantly conveys the resolve to never forget a lost love.
Used as the ending theme for the animated film “Dorami & The Doraemons: The Seven Mysteries of the Robot School!?,” it was included on the 1995 album “The Fruit in a Skirt.” Distinct from the typically poppy tone associated with Doraemon works, the song stands out for its serious and grand scale.
Like Doraemon, who carries a treasured pocket filled with memories, this is a recommended track for anyone who wants to engrave memories with a loved one in their heart.
Museum of the FuturePerfume
It’s the theme song for the movie Doraemon: Nobita’s Secret Gadget Museum, released in March 2013, and Perfume’s 17th single.
Yasutaka Nakata, who wrote and composed the song, was apparently a big Doraemon fan to begin with, and the futuristic pop sound fits perfectly with Doraemon’s story.
Perfume’s clear, transparent vocals, the lyrics that evoke bright hope, and the fantastical, pop melody all feel like they’re opening the door and saying “Welcome!” to the exciting world of Doraemon.
THE GIFTHirai Dai

“THE GIFT” is a song where you can savor Dai Hirai’s beautiful and powerful vocals.
It was featured in the movie “Doraemon: Nobita’s Chronicle of the Moon Exploration,” and the lyrics perfectly match the film’s world, drawing you in.
The words that liken feelings that seem within reach yet remain distant to the moon convey the characters’ emotions within the story.
On a night when you’re thinking of someone special, why not listen to this refreshing yet slightly bittersweet track?
I want to see you.Kozaka Akiko
Used as the theme song for the Doraemon film “The Day I Was Born,” this piece is distinguished by its moving, beautiful melody and lyrics.
It’s a ballad that sings of lost love and a longing for memories, and Akiko Kosaka’s clear, pure voice seems to perfectly express Nobita’s feelings.
Released as a single in March 2002, it received high praise from J-pop fans as well.
Throughout the song, you can feel the deep bond between Doraemon and Nobita.
It’s perfect for times when you want to immerse yourself in memories of someone special or dwell on your feelings for someone.
Highly recommended not only for Doraemon fans but also for anyone who loves heartwarming ballads.
A Monologue Woven With YouMr.Children

As Nobita grows, he experiences encounters and farewells, and parting from someone important is always painful, isn’t it? Even if the time spent together was short, this song makes you feel that your feelings for that person remain unchanged, and it inspires hope for a bright future!
