Introduction:
On February 25, 2026, the beloved Japanese pop-rock band sumika released their 11th single, 「Honto」 , a tender and uplifting anthem that serves as the official theme song for the highly anticipated film "Doraemon: New Nobita and the Castle of the Undersea Devil (映画ドラえもん 新・のび太の海底鬼岩城) 2026 . This release marks sumika's first contribution to the legendary Doraemon film franchise, a milestone that has left the band members "still dreaming".
For vocalist Kenta Kataoka, this collaboration represents a full-circle moment. As a child, he watched "Doraemon: Nobita and the Kingdom of Clouds" with his mother at the cinema and later named a houseplant "Kii-bō" after the film's beloved character . Decades later, he found himself writing lyrics for the reboot of another classic film from his youth. "I'm filled with incredible joy and a slightly surreal feeling," Kataoka shares. "Even now, as I write this, I still feel like I'm dreaming".
The Song: A Thoughtful Exploration of "Truth" and "Hint":
The Meaning Behind "Honto"
The title "Honto" (a casual spelling of "truth") carries profound thematic weight. Kataoka explains that in an age dominated by the pursuit of "correct answers" amplified by the internet and AI, he felt a growing sense that something essential about humanity was fading.
"When we live our lives seeking only the 'correct answer,' failure becomes terrifying. That feeling intensifies with the spread of the internet and AI. But as it does, I feel something like 'humanity' fading away; it felt empty and lonely. It was then that I received this offer".
The film's script, which explores how to coexist with technology and navigate relationships with those we cannot fully understand, provided the "hint" he needed. Kataoka cleverly notes that "honto" and "hinto" (hint) sound remarkably similar in Japanese, and he dropped one character from the word for "truth" to create the title, reflecting his desire to search for a lifelong source of wonder alongside Doraemon.
Why "Honto" Matters in 2026:
1. A Perfect Creative Marriage
sumika's warm, thoughtful approach to songwriting aligns perfectly with Doraemon's enduring themes of friendship, courage, and self-discovery. The song doesn't just accompany the film it deepens it.
2. The Ikura Collaboration
The "赤春花" feature with YOASOBI's Ikura brings together two generations of Japanese pop excellence, creating a track that will delight fans of both artists.
3. Thematic Depth
In an age of AI and information overload, "Honto" asks essential questions: What is truth? What makes us human? How do we find our own answers? These questions give the song resonance far beyond its anime context.
4. Collector Appeal
From the deluxe limited edition with live Blu-ray to the charming Doraemon edition with character introduction, there's a version for every type of fan.
Conclusion:
sumika's 「Honto」, released February 25, 2026, is more than a theme song; it's a loving embrace between one of Japan's most cherished cultural institutions and a band that has become a "home" for millions of listeners.
The title's playful spelling dropping one character from "truth" to become "hint" captures the song's gentle philosophy: we don't need all the answers, just enough light to keep searching. Kataoka's lyrics, informed by childhood memories and adult wisdom, create a space where both children and parents can find meaning.
For longtime sumika fans, this single offers the satisfaction of watching a band reach new heights while staying true to their core. For Doraemon devotees, it provides a fresh musical companion to a beloved story. And for everyone in between, "Honto" is an invitation to dive into the deep, to face the unknown, and to discover that the truest truths are often the ones we find together.
