All-Time Greats: Unforgettable Theme and Insert Songs from Doraemon (21–30)
An irreplaceable poemmihimaru GT
It’s the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita’s New Great Adventure into the Underworld — The Seven Magicians.
While mihimaru GT is strongly associated with high-energy, upbeat tracks, this song is a gentle piece that conveys its message with restraint.
True to a theatrical feature, its moving, emotive melody is captivating.
Doraemon SongYamano Satoko
With a sweet singing voice and truly enchanting vocal ability, it’s absolutely wonderful.
The song has an inviting atmosphere that draws people in, and they perform the Doraemon song beautifully.
The slightly youthful feel is really nice.
This Yamano-san version also has its own character, offering a different vibe, and it’s a lovely track.
[Generations] Unforgettable Masterpieces Among Doraemon’s Theme and Insert Songs (31–40)
The blue sky is a pocket.Ōsugi Kumiko
This is the first ending theme song of Doraemon.
It was used as the ending for the Sunday time slot from 1979 to 1981, and it was also chosen as the ending theme for the movie “Doraemon: A Grand Return.” For many people, this is the song that comes to mind when they think of Doraemon, stirring a sense of nostalgia.
The galaxy within meChiba Kazuomi (Kaientai)
This song, created by Kazuomi Chiba of Kaientai, was used as the ending theme for the Doraemon movie “Nobita and the Galaxy Express.” A bittersweet heartbreak song, it weaves imagery from familiar natural phenomena—like the spiral of a seashell and the galaxy in the night sky—into its lyrics, stretching from the everyday to the cosmos.
Released in March 1996, it resonated with many listeners, aided by its tie-in with the film.
It’s a recommended track for those carrying the pain of unrequited love or anyone who wants to dwell on feelings for someone dear.
Doraemon’s RoombaNaito Harumi
It’s amusing because the lyrics include lines you wouldn’t expect from the gentle, heartwarming Doraemon, like “Computers are my friends” and “A ray gun speaks.” It also carries a somewhat retro Showa-era vibe you can’t hear in today’s Doraemon theme songs.
Friends again tomorrowNishiwaki Yui
Even if you argue with a friend, being able to make up with a smile right away is truly wonderful, isn’t it? This work by Yui Nishiwaki is a heartwarming song that portrays the pure friendship of children.
Released in October 1992, it was used as the ending theme for the anime Doraemon until April 1995.
It’s also well-loved as a graduation song for kindergartens.
There are days when we get really mad, but the lyrics—set to a bright, pop melody—remind us that being with friends is the best, and they really resonate.
This song brings back the importance of facing others with sincerity when you’re worn out by the slightly complicated relationships of adulthood.
Give it a listen when you want to look back on those nostalgic days spent with friends!
In the pocketNobuyo Ōyama ・ Young Fresh
This is the song used as the ending theme for the film Doraemon: Nobita’s Dinosaur.
It is sung by Doraemon’s voice actor, Nobuyo Oyama, together with the chorus group Young Fresh.
Since the movie was remade and released in 2006, this song can be considered a Doraemon classic loved by people of a wide range of ages.
