I watched “Nobita and the Birth of Japan” about two weeks ago or so. Nobita (once again) has a problem with his mother, which makes him decide to run away from home (again), and apparently his friends have similar problem with their mothers. Even Doraemon (although the reason is pretty hilarious!) decides to join Nobita in the end. Long story short, after not finding any free land in the small and packed country of Japan, all of them go to prehistoric Japan and start a new life there, where they meet Kukuru, a Chinese boy. From the adventure with Kukuru and his Hikari Tribe, the kids, especially Nobita, learn about family and parents’ love.

I always love how every Doraemon movie can portray parents’ love so perfectly, like when Nobita’s mother looks out the window, waiting for Nobita’s return, or when she holds her happy tears after seeing Nobita, who falls asleep after studying. My favorite part is, still, whenever Nobita is around his “children,” the magical creatures. Their farewell always breaks my heart.

This soundtrack is perfect for those moments. The song is really soothing, and when the music comes to the chorus part, there is always this warm vibration inside me, not to mention when it’s combined with the touching lyrics, which talks about farewell. We can be sad when we are separated from the ones we love, and farewell indeed hurts, but the memories can give us warmth and strength to move on in our lives. : )
