Unforgettable Classics: Theme and Insert Songs from Doraemon Through the Ages

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
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 / Piano Instructoryuri
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.

Doraemon’s RoombaNaito Harumi

Doraemon’s Roomba Harumi Naitō [Doraemon (Old)]

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.

miwa 『360°』Short Ver.

360°miwa

An upbeat song with miwa’s sparkling, pop-infused vocals that feels great to listen to.

It was the theme song for the 2015 film “Doraemon: Nobita and the Space Heroes.” Since the movie is about Doraemon and his friends, who admire heroes, having adventures in space, the theme song—just like its title suggests—strongly conveys the message that “all children can go anywhere, and their possibilities are limitless.” Listening to it seems like it could give both adults and kids a boost of energy.

Friends Tomorrow Too ♡ Yui Nishiwaki [Doraemon 50th Anniversary]

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!
