Premise

A long time ago, a Cro-Magnon boy listened to the beautiful cries of swans . A glowing flying object falls into the forest, and a sleeping baby appears from the object. In the present day, in the music room of an elementary school , Nobita 's class is practicing the recorder song " Swan Etude " for the autumn concert . However, Nobita, who is not good at playing the recorder , is laughed at by his classmates when he plays the ``no sound , which is not on the ``do-re-mi scale . Nobita returns home at a loss, but learns that Doraemon used a secret tool called a ` `preliminary diary to receive his favorite food, dorayaki. He planned to use the diary to eliminate music classes at school so that he would not have to practice the recorder, and in the ``preliminary diary that he replaced with his own, he wrote `` Today, there is no music. It was fun ,” he wrote. The next day, July 17th . Nobita is happy that the music class has been canceled, but Doraemon notices that the diary has been changed and tells him that not only the music class but the music itself has disappeared from all over the world . Despite this, Nobita takes a casual attitude and says, ``It's not a big deal. However, chaos ensues in the city, and people gradually begin to get irritated. Nobita, who witnessed this, cried to Doraemon and obtained peace by tearing out the pages of Doraemon's diary. Meanwhile, at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, black creatures are gushing out from the stones and sand brought back by the probe. The creature begins to move while dividing. In the evening, while practicing his recorder on the riverbank, Nobita meets a mysterious girl. Nobita is moved by the girl's beautiful singing voice, but when he notices, the girl has disappeared. As Nobita looks around, small particles of light dance in the wind. The next day, Nobita is practicing the recorder with Shizuka , Gian , and Suneo at the riverbank . Just then, the girl appears again and starts singing, and Doraemon, who came to see what's going on, Nobita's toys with " robotter " attached to them, and the " Mood Lifting Band " join in, and a fun concert begins. After the performance, Nobita and his friends are very excited, but the girl disappears once again. That evening, Nobita and his friends receive a mysterious letter saying, ``We'll be waiting for you in the school's music room tonight. They are led through the door of the music preparation room to a place called `` Fare Hall of Fame . There was a mysterious girl, Mikka , who had been appearing frequently , and the robot, Chapek, who was taking care of her . Mikka and his friends from `` Planet Mushika believe that Nobita and his friends are `` virtuosos ,' ' masters of `` fare (music) , and summon them to revive the ``Fare Hall, which is dormant due to lack of energy. The group is confused at first, but after seeing Mikka's pure side, they decide to cooperate. Use Doraemon's secret tool " Red Thread of Fate " to choose the instruments to play . When Gian pulls the tuba , Suneo plays the violin , Shizuka pulls the bongos , and Nobita pulls the recorder , they become partners with the instruments they chose with their " musician license ". , the group rushes outside to revive the Hall of Fame. The group encounters the musician robots Motzel and Bach in the dried-up Harp River , and by playing their instruments against the Faare Ore , they generate Faare Energy and succeed in flowing water into the waterway. . In the revived " Sound Bug Forest ", Takiren , also a musician robot , weeps from the sadness of losing his "master", and heals him with a sad performance close to his heart.There are many grave markers lined up in the forest. , it was the grave of the deceased Mushika people, the "masters". To the surprised group, Takiren, the grave keeper, explained that the planet Mushika was destroyed in a great disaster long ago, and that the hall was occupied by a small number of Mushika people and robots. He reveals that it was the lifeboat he carried on board, and that Mikka is the only Mshika man left alive in the Hall of Fame. Capek kept all of this a secret so as not to hurt Mikka. When Mikka learns the truth, he still Nobita and his friends are moved by Mikka's courageous behavior and move on together. The robots that were sleeping in the city are waking up. The group plays farewell with the awakened robots and revives the hall of fame. Then Suneo and Gian find a black creature and sneak into the Fare factory in pursuit of it. The robot Workner , the commander of the Fare factory , treats Suneo and Gian as intruders and knocks them underground. Then, a large number of black creatures appeared there. Under Werkner's instructions, Gian and Suneo try to exterminate it by playing the Fare, but the Fare has no effect on the creature that has merged into a giant creature, and Workner is attacked as well. Nobita and his friends join Gian and Suneo, who narrowly escaped with their lives, and return to Earth. After finishing his elementary school closing ceremony, Nobita wraps up his ` `hustle wind-up to go to the hall of fame, hurriedly finishes his summer vacation homework, and practices the recorder in the bathroom in the middle of the night. Doraemon falls asleep while listening to the music. A black creature enters the bed. The next day, Doraemon heads to the hall of fame with Nobita and his friends in `` Anywhere Door, even though he feels uncomfortable about his throat . The group arrives at the temple, the center of the hall, even though Nobita forgets his recorder and goes to retrieve it by temporarily swapping time and space with the " space-time changer ." There he discovered Vento , Capek's master and maestro (conductor) . Vento stopped functioning while he was writing a song on the sheet music, but he was restored using Doraemon's secret tool, and was forbidden to play private fare in Musica, which is called " noise ". He summons a giant space life form and tells Nobita and his friends that it has been destroyed. He then discovers that Doraemon, who is behaving strangely, is infected by Noise spores, and tells him that the main body of Noise is approaching Earth as well. Nobita's weakness is the noise spores that were mixed in with the materials recovered by the spacecraft by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science during the time when Earth became a "world where music disappeared" due to Nobita's use of the "diary in advance." It was secretly active and multiplying on Earth, where Fares did not exist, and one of its spores entered Doraemon's mouth while he was sleeping, causing abnormalities. In order to eliminate the noise, the Hall of Fame must be completely restored. The main switch needed to play the Mushika flute. It is said that 40,000 years ago, she gave it to Mikka's twin sister who was sent to Earth. As she wonders where the flute is now, she remembers what Shizuka learned in music class: ``The oldest musical instrument in the world is a flute made from swan bones. It's in a museum in Ueno . I found a ``swan bone flute at a museum in Ueno, and when I looked it up using `` Omoide Colon , I found that it was not a Musika flute. While worrying again, Suneo notices that songstress Mina 's song is similar to Mushika's lullaby, and Mikka visits Mina, who was in Japan on a world tour. Although Mina says that the flute is a talisman given to her by her grandmother, she readily agrees and lends her flute to Mikka as it is a request from her fans. Mina was the descendant of Mikka's sister. Doraemon was infected with noise spores and finally stopped functioning. Nobita and his friends perform in a vacant lot in order to cure Doraemon, but since everyone plays as they please, the harmony is disrupted and things don't go well. Finally, Gian and Suneo blame Nobita for things not going well, and Shizuka blames him, creating a disturbing atmosphere. Gian tries to stop Nobita from playing, but he continues to frantically play the recorder, shouting, "I want to cure Doraemon too! I want to play with everyone!" Seeing this, Shizuka and the others regain their composure and play along with Nobita, and Mikka also begins to sing. Eventually, Noise spores fly out of his mouth, and Doraemon returns to normal and rushes to the hall with Nobita and his friends. The group returns to the Hall of Fame, but the flute that Mina entrusted to Mikka is missing a part and is missing one note. Then a noise appears and attacks Mikka and Nobita. Nobita tries his best to play, but the "do" sound still becomes a "no" sound, but for some reason, the hall returns. The "last note" necessary for the restoration of the Hall of Fame was the "no" sound played by Nobita on his recorder. In order to repel the noise that is trying to head towards Earth, Nobita and his friends go to the Hall of Fame to perform the Chikyu Symphony, which was composed by Capek based on his experience of listening to a lot of music on Earth, along with Mikka, Vento, and other Fare musicians. ” is played. At first, it seemed like they were able to weaken the noise and drive it away, but it soon revived and sent Nobita and his friends flying into space. It was a completely silent world with no air. However, they begin to hear the sounds of the toys playing. Nobita and his friends play in space again and succeed in repelling the noise. Doraemon wonders about the sound reverberating in outer space, but a ``space-time changer falls there. In an attempt to combat the noise, he casually throws away his secret tools and junk, and ``coincidentally the ``space-time changer is activated, and what's more, the place where he replaced it is where Nobita goes to retrieve the recorder he forgot. Yesterday night in the bathroom. Furthermore, the size adjustment of the space was also haphazard, and the surrounding outer space, including the Earth, appeared to be floating in the bathroom. And those events were caused by Nobita's ``preliminary diary that he wrote in what he thought was his own diary while completing his summer vacation homework in ``Hustle Wind-up. The message was, `` Today, we all took a bath. It was fun . After that, Mikka decided to leave Earth with the Hall. Chapek rushes in to see her, who is looking lonely into space, thinking of her friend who has left her. In order to get rid of her noises, Nobita and his friends played a farre, which led them to receive a signal from another ship that had escaped Mushika. Mikka is happy that she has Mushika's companion, and she expresses her gratitude to her "Nobita-onii-chan" instead of the "Nohohon Megane" on Earth. Meanwhile, it's September 13th, the end of summer vacation . An autumn concert was being held at the elementary school. The children's performance of "Swan Etude" ends with the "no" sound played by Nobita. Then, from the window of the music room, particles of Farley energy fly toward the sky.

Scenario setting

Kazuaki Imai stated that he got the idea of the story of the film during the lockdown period of COVID-19 pandemic. He said, "When I finished directing my previous work "New Dinosaur", the world had changed in an unexpected way due to the pandemic caused by the Novel coronavirus. Children were more stressed when the human nature of direct contact and interaction was restricted. One day, I felt emotional when I saw my son, who was stuck at home, singing loudly while watching TV. It was a programme that connected each performer remotely and performed one song while the concert could not be held. At the same time as I was struck by the power of music, the image of children going on a big adventure in the world of music with Doraemon began to swell in my head."
