All-Time Greats: Unforgettable Theme and Insert Songs from Doraemon (21–30)
Blue skies are nice.Horie Mitsuko
This is a song that was used as the ending theme from 1988 to 1992.
Its slightly brisk tempo evokes scenes of running together with friends under a blue sky and creates a cheerful atmosphere.
The lyrics are striking in the way they seem to ask all humanity how wonderful our planet Earth is, and whether we aren’t friends born into such a lovely place.
It’s a bright, happy song that even conveys a wish for peace.

This song, with its strikingly beautiful piano intro, is the theme song for the 2017 film Doraemon: Nobita’s Great Adventure in the Antarctic Kachi Kochi.
Its gentle, conversational phrases and lyrics, which can even sound like a love ballad, are truly moving.
I’ve heard it was composed with the irreplaceable bond between Doraemon and Nobita in mind, and with the image of “the person more precious than anything.” Accompanied by a clear, crystalline arrangement that evokes the Antarctic air, Ken Hirai’s voice resonates sweetly and beautifully, making it a masterpiece that conveys warm, heartfelt love.

Crafted by Masayoshi Yamazaki, this piece was released in March 2016 as the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan 2016.
With lyrics themed around the sensation of flight and leaving the nest, it feels like a bird freely soaring through the sky.
Carried by Yamazaki’s warm vocals, the world of Doraemon expands beautifully.
The music video, shot on a day of heavy snowfall, also features a mesmerizing production that makes inventive use of projectors.
It’s a song that encourages everyone—from children to adults—to take that first step into a “new world” they envision in their hearts.

The warm, heartfelt singing by Doraemon, Nobita, and their friends is especially memorable.
Staying true to the world of Doraemon, its gentle melody highlights the importance of friendship and bonds through its lyrics.
Filled with sentiments like “Thank you for being born” and “I’m truly glad we met,” it’s a heartwarming track.
It’s a perfect choice for birthdays or any moment when you want to express gratitude to someone special.
Why not sing it together and immerse yourself in the world of Doraemon?

Its irresistibly catchy melody that sticks with you after just one listen and the lyrics that make Doraemon feel so endearing are truly charming.
This is a tune that children and adults alike can hum along to, and it perfectly sets the excitement for the start of Doraemon’s story.
