SYNOPSIS

The “future of music” is entrusted to Nobita!?

A great adventure to save the earth begins with a symphony played by Doraemon and his friends!! Nobita is practicing playing the recorder, which he is not good at, in preparation for his school's concert. Suddenly, a mysterious girl named Mikka appears in front of him and likes Nobita's laid-back and carefree music. She then invites Nobita, Doraemon, and the others to the “Hall of Music,” a location created on a planet where music becomes energy.

In order to revive the Hall of Music, Mikka teams up with the music master, Virtuoso, and uses her secret tool, the Musician's License, to allow Doraemon and his friends to choose any instrument to play. However, a creepy creature that erases music from the world is approaching, bringing danger to both the Hall of Music and the Earth. Will it be possible to save the “future of music” and the Earth??
