Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro

Hata Motohiro’s “Himawari no Yakusoku” overflows with feelings of cherishing one’s friends.

Released in 2014, the song was chosen as the theme for the 3DCG animated film STAND BY ME Doraemon.

Since it’s the theme song for a Doraemon movie—hugely popular among elementary school children—the film, and the song as well, became a big hit.

The lyrics are filled with the warm love of friendship, as if they portray the relationship between Doraemon and Nobita exactly as it is, and they likely inspired gentle feelings in children too.

Think of your dear friends as you listen to it or sing along.

It has a charm that makes you want to sing along! This song was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc.

Sung by Aimer, a singer who has performed many anime theme songs, it was released as a single in 2022.

It perfectly matches Aimer’s clear, transparent vocals, too! The punch at the end of the chorus is irresistible.

It’s a high-energy anime song that resonates with everyone—not just elementary school students!

When it comes to anime that sparked a massive boom in 2021, it has to be Tokyo Revengers.
