Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

All-Time Greats: Unforgettable Theme and Insert Songs from Doraemon (21–30)

Make my heartKen Hirai

Make my heart, Ken Hirai

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.

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.

The slightly youthful feel is really nice.

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.

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 meKazuomi Chiba (Kaientai)

[Takeda Tetsuya, not Kaientai] The Galaxy Within Me

Kazumi Chiba of Galaxy Within Me (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.

I’m Giant (Gian), the boss!

I am the great Gian.

I’m Giant (Gian), the boss!

When it comes to the theme song of that famous neighborhood bully, this is the one that comes to mind for many people! Riding a march-like, powerful melody, he belts out with pride that he won’t lose to anyone in a fight or in singing—perfectly embodying his character.

Kazuya Tatekabe, the original voice actor for Gian, wrote the lyrics himself, fully expressing Gian’s irresistible charm: brimming with confidence yet somehow impossible to dislike.

The song was included on the LP “Doraemon Variety★Jockey 4,” released in July 1981, and has been beloved as an insert song in the anime, especially during his recital scenes.

Listen to it when you’re feeling down—his boisterous vocals might just blow your worries away! It’s the perfect track for a boost of energy while reminiscing about your childhood.
