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.

Introducing the theme songs of Doraemon, Japan’s beloved national TV anime.

Doraemon is the longest-running program among TV Asahi’s anime, and many adults today likely grew up watching it.

With his cute, round silhouette and his constant willingness to help Nobita, Doraemon is a true fan favorite.

As for the question, “What’s the Doraemon theme song?” the answer may differ by generation—but chances are, the songs you’re thinking of are mostly included here.

This time, we’re also covering the theme songs from the films.

Be sure to listen while reminiscing about your childhood.

All-Time Doraemon Theme and Insert Songs: Unforgettable Classics (41–50)

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

Harumi Naito, the Doraemon Roomba

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.

All-Time Greats: Unforgettable Theme and Insert Songs from Doraemon (51–60)

Doraemon OndoNobuyo Oyama / Koorogi '73

[Nostalgic Song] Doraemon Ondo

Doraemon Ondo Nobuyo Oyama · Korogi '73

Doraemon Ondo was released in 1979 as a simultaneous B-side on the single for the TV Asahi anime Doraemon’s theme song, “Boku Doraemon.” Sung by Nobuyo Oyama together with the chorus unit Korogi ’73, it became popular as a bon-odori dance number and spread nationwide.

Doraemon’s slightly silly call-and-response interjections are irresistibly charming, and the cheerful rhythm and snappy lyrics make you want to sing and dance along—overflowing with the nostalgic flavor of the Showa era!

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.
