To the 1980s Doraemon is probably part of our childhood, especially for me, its the root of my creativity, my interest for science as well as arts and the japanese culture. There are so many imaginary equipments from Doraemon we all wish to have, like the time machine, door to anywhere, bamboo copter... ahhh great childhood fantasy aint it!. But still we were real young back then, many may not know, the facts about Doraemon.

Doraemon was created in 1969-70 by Fujimoto Hiroshi and Motoo Abiko. The cartoon & comic follow the life of Nobita Nobi and his robot-cat friend Doraemon.
Doraemon is a cat-like robot from the 22nd century of the future. His favorite food is dorayaki, a sweet bean paste filled bun, and his birthday is 2112-9-3 he is also know by the name "Ding-dong". He weighs 129.3 kg, is 129.3 cm tall, can leap 129.3 cms in the air and can run 129.3 km per hour. He is afraid of mice and hates rats, his ears were eaten off by rats. He has a fourth-dimensional pocket on his abdomen from which he can take out many amazing TOOLS. Doraemon was sent back to the 20th century because Nobita's grandson can't bear to see his grandfather suffer. So he sent Doraemon to help out with Nobita's troubles.
Definitely the Doraemon theme song is one our favorite childhood song. But how many of us remember how to sing it ? haha and what is the real meaning of the lyrics? let me show u guys~

English Translation
this sort of thing is good
I wish I could do it
that sort of dream, this sort of dream, I have many of them but
all of them, all of them, all of them
he grants my dreams
he grants my dreams with a mysterious pocket
I want to fly freely in the sky
(Here! Bamboo-copter!)
ah ah ah
I love you very much,
Doraemon
homework, school duties, exams and errands
because that sort of thing and this sort of thing are awful
all of them, all of them, all of them
he helps me
he helps me with a convenient tool
look! a toy soldier
(Here! Attack!)
ah ah ah
I love you very much,
Doraemon
that place is nice
I wish I could go
this country, that island, there is many of them, but
all of them, all of them, all of them
he makes me able to go to them
he uses a gadget of the future to grant my wish
I want to go on a world trip
(ehehehe... Anywhere Door!)
ah ah ah
I love you very much,
Doraemon
ah ah ah
I love you very much,
Doraemon
