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 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.

So everyone together, Makoto Iwabuchi [Doraemon: Nobita and the Haunts of Evil theme song] [Doraemon 50th Anniversary]

So, everyone: Makoto Iwabuchi.

A heartwarming song that teaches the importance of joining forces with your friends.

This track was used as the ending theme for the 1982 film Doraemon: Nobita and the Haunts of Evil.

The vocalist, Makoto Iwabuchi, also handled the theme songs for the previous year’s “Kokoro o Yurashite” and the following year’s “Umi wa Bokura to,” making him one of the singers who helped define Doraemon films of that era.

Even if your own courage is small, you can become strong when you’re together with everyone—this message resonates with the film’s story of friendship and is truly moving.

It’s a song that, when you feel a bit uneasy, brings your friends’ faces to mind and gives you courage!

We Earthlings, Mitsuko Horie

It’s very easy to remember, so it’s great for singing along with children.

It’s so cute that you can’t help but hum it.

I think a song with this kind of vibe is perfect for Doraemon.

It even brings tears to your eyes with its feeling that everyone on Earth is together and friendly.

Makoto Iwabuchi, Stirring the Heart

It’s the insert song that colored the moving farewell scene in the film Doraemon: Nobita’s Spaceblazer.

Makoto Iwabuchi’s soft, mellow vocals perfectly match the bittersweet mood of the story and really resonate, don’t they? The song seems to carry a message of quietly looking into your heart and setting out to find what you’ve lost and hold dear.

It reminds us of the importance of invisible treasures like friendship and warm memories.

Released as a single in March 1981, it also comes with a heartwarming anecdote that the composition was created by a parent-child duo.

It’s a masterpiece that gently helps you regain the pure feelings you’d almost forgotten as an adult.
