Had a fun time in our last Japanese lesson of the term today learning a little song from a popular Japanese cartoon - Doraemon.

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!).

Doraemon

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!
