Imai shared his thoughts on the film, stating, “When I finished my previous work, ‘Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s New Dinosaur,’ the world was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the situation became unprecedented. The direct contact and interaction between people were restricted, and the ones most affected by this were the children. One day, I saw my son, who couldn’t go out of the house, singing loudly in front of the TV, which deeply moved me.”
He further added, “At that moment, as I was touched by the power of music itself, I envisioned a scene where children and Doraemon embark on a great musical adventure together.”
