Had a fun time in our last Japanese lesson of the term today learning a little song from a popular Japanese cartoon - Doraemon.
The cartoon was originally created in 1969 and follows a cat-like robot from the 22nd century of the future (how do they think these things up…!) who is sent back to the 20th century to help Nobita, a rather hapless school boy. It became one of Japan’s most popular and well-loved manga/anime series which has a cult following (just do a search on Google and you’ll see what I mean!).
You could almost see Doraemon as the equivalent of Mickey Mouse in the U.S. (but a lot less annoying). If you’re so inclined you can:
- Download the theme song here.
- Read the lyrics (with translation) here.
- Watch the opening video here (download here).
- Read an article explaining Doraemon’s history here.
- Visit the official website here.
Update (6th Aug 2007): Due to popular demand fixed links to mp3 and video!

Wow! I love Doraemon! David, you’ve found a masterpiece. The balloons are great, but I’d worry about having some kind of helicopter blade in my head. There’s only one point I disagree with you on - how could you find Mickey Mouse annoying? Apart from Fingermouse, the Rats of Nimh, and Jerry, he’s the most intelligent rodent of them all! (though Jerry is evil, he really shouldn’t pick on Tom like that).
To be honest I’m not a big fan of Disney - I don’t mind the classic stuff but anything beyong about 1990 isn’t all that good. For some reason the whole Mickey Mouse business just annoys me, not sure why, it just does! Doraemon is cool though!
I can remenber the first time when I saw the cat on the book,it was in 1995(China).He is soo cool,he always have the spical things in his pocket!He is the greatest cat in the world!I love Doraemon!
I like Doraemon and Doraemon’s song so much so if who has Doraemon’s song from each movies please give me ^_^ THANKS!! (to my e-mail, sun_gong6169@hotmail.com )

Not to sound crazy..but i’m from Barbados in the Caribbean, and I remember watching this cartoon, but it was called Albert and Sidney, and the theme song went like…
“put a propeller on top of your hat, Albert and Sidney a boy and his cat, Albert has magic, Sidney has fun…etc. etc.”
I never knew what Doraemon was until I went searching for Albert and Sidney online and stumbled across the cute little blue cat…but now his name was Doraemon, can anyone help me?
Doraemon the best dah….
Thanx…

doraemon ni wa hontouni ai shite iru yo
Um, this is in response to Lennon, I’m from Barbados as well and I have been looking for the english version of this cartoon yes it was called “Albert and Sidney”.
The thing is I think CBC got the cartoon from the UK (England most likely). From my research there is no such thing as the english dubbed version. I thought I was crazy too but I’m still looking, it was one of my favorite shows when I was young.
I read somewhere that cartoon network will be putting on very soon in the future.
