Doraemon is a popular and long-running anime based on the manga of the same name by Fujiko F. Fujio. Its best-known adaptation originally ran from 1979 until 2005, while a second series, that began airing a month after the first series' conclusion, is still airing to this day. A total of 38 feature-length Doraemon movies have been released, as well as numerous short films.

In April or May 1980, Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd. released 2 singles containing songs from the popular series to Japanese stores. English versions were also released at the same time to teach English to Japanese students. The first, titled "A "Draw Doraemon" Song / Doraemon Ondo", is easily available to listen to on YouTube and download online, while the second one remains lost, with the only documentations online being from snowrecords.jp, as well as a fanmade list of Doraemon music. The Japanese versions of the songs on both records are easily available online. It was sung by Regina M. Doi, Duncan A. Williams, and Henry V. Drennan. It is worth noting, however, that this record may not have made it to stores, as the sleeve for this one known copy is labeled "sample". It may have also been a particular copy not meant for purchase, instead just being on display.
