Doraemon
This song, created as an insert track in the early days of the nationally beloved TV anime Doraemon that began in 1979, is perhaps the most widely known drawing song for an anime character across generations.
Remarkably, the lyrics were written by the son of one of the anime’s creators when he was in junior high school.
The drawing song sung by Nobuyo Oyama, Doraemon’s voice actress, remains full of charm even as time passes, and it’s a wonderful piece of music in its own right.
Totoro
My Neighbor Totoro is a film released by Studio Ghibli in 1988.
If you ask what kind of creature it is, everyone answers “Totoro!”—a character that has become a national icon.
From its release to this day, Totoro is a character loved by both children and adults.
This is a drawing song that uses a parody of the theme song “My Neighbor Totoro.” It’s a very simple drawing song, so even small children can enjoy drawing along.
Let’s all sing and draw together!
