The manga inspired three television anime series that have collectively lasted over four decades, television specials, and yearly anime films.
The song was originally the theme song for Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island, the 2018 film that is the franchise’s highest-grossing film.
The manga creator duo Fujiko Fujio debuted their famous Doraemon robot cat manga in 1969.
The official website for the Doraemon children’s television anime revealed on Friday that Gen Hoshino’s song “Doraemon” will be the new opening theme song for the anime beginning on October 5, when the anime moves to TV Asahi’s “Anime Time” programming block on Saturdays.
