by The new ending theme for the TV anime “Doraemon,” based on the original work by Fujiko F. Fujio, has been decided to be Tani Yuuki’s latest song, “Moshi Monogatari.” Tani Yuuki. This is the first change to the ending theme since the anime’s 2005 renewal. The ending theme, “Moshi Monogatari,” written by singer-songwriter Tani Yuuki, will be used from the October 4th broadcast.
A huge Doraemon fan, Tani Yuuki, commented, “‘Moshi Monogatari’ is a song that embodies all the Doraemon I have inside me. I created it with the hope of expressing the world of Doraemon, which has been with me since I was a child, in my own way. When I got the OK, I felt a surge of joy from the bottom of my heart.”
Doraemon and Nobita appeared on the opening night of Tani Yuuki’s “Live Tour 2025 ‘Still love…this'” at Chigasaki Civic Cultural Hall in Kanagawa Prefecture on September 25th. “Moshi Monogatari” was performed for the first time at the concert, and it was announced to fans that the song would be the new ending theme for “Doraemon.”
Tani Yuuki’s Comments □ Thoughts on the new ending video playing alongside “Moshi Monogatari”: When I first saw it, I was so happy to see Doraemon walking along to my own music, and I thought, “This is so good!” I’m thrilled that Doraemon and his friends are dancing to the music I created.
The song features excellent choreography, manga-style scenes, and various other elements, creating a fantastic ending. I’m so grateful. How I felt when I received the offer to perform the ending: I was so happy to be able to enter the world of “Doraemon,” a series I’ve watched since I was a child.
“Moshi Monogatari” is a song that I’ve poured my heart and soul into, and I created it with the desire to express in my own way the worldview of “Doraemon” that has been in my heart since I was a child. So, I was able to create it all in one go without worrying too much, and when it was finished, I felt a deep sense of joy welling up inside me. What thoughts did you put into this song? In our daily lives, we sometimes hit a wall or stumble. I wrote this song to convey that, depending on your attitude and way of thinking, the world can appear brighter and more expansive.
This song is filled with my wish that people will embrace their dreams, whether they’re small or big. □ My favorite phrase in the song is the opening line, “I’m sure everyone has a dream at some point (Wa) so far (Cry).” This part has a call-and-response voice in addition to the main vocals, making it fun for everyone to sing along. I really love the “What If Box,” a secret gadget I’d love to have, and I’d love to fulfill my wish that the world could be like that. I also think there’s something romantic about tools that can control time, like the “Time Machine” and the “Time Cloth.” I also like the “Meitou Denkomaru,” the “Air Cannon,” and the “Kobashiya.”
It’s reassuring to have these tools come out when I’m in a pinch. As an artist, “Koekatamarin” is also good. It would be interesting if my singing voice took shape during a live performance (laughs). My favorite episode of “Doraemon” is “That Masterpiece Again…Grandma’s Memories” (broadcast in 2006), which left a strong impression on me. I was a huge Grandma’s Boy.
When I saw this episode as a child, I had just said something awful to my grandma, so I remember apologizing immediately and vowing never to repeat it. Watching that episode again as an adult…it brought me to tears, too. Message to viewers: “Moshi Monogatari,” the ending theme for the “Doraemon” TV anime, which I am in charge of, will begin airing in October. It will not only inspire children’s dreams, but also gently encourage adults. I put my heart into it, so please give it a listen.
