[Doraemon] Theme Song 2003

It made me incredibly nostalgic and genuinely excited.

Knowing the voice is Misato Watanabe’s somehow puts me in a happy mood.

The fact that she’s the one singing… it feels almost like a dream and kind of refreshing.

But in any case, there’s no doubt it’s really nostalgic.
