Doraemon film: Trailer, release date, and new characters
The Doraemon movie trailer opens with a scene of Nobita meeting Mikka, a new character in the film, whose singing mesmerizes him. The trailer then moves to scenes of Nobita's school life, where he is once again bullied by Suneo and Takeshi Gouda (Jiyan). A new music teacher is also shown, and Nobita is seen having difficulty playing what looks like a clarinet.
The trailer then presents Dorameon’s most famous gadget - the Anywhere Door, which transports them to a new world called Mushiika. This is Mikka's hometown, where music plays a prominent role. Nobita and his friends are about to embark on a music-filled adventure riddled with peril. As mentioned before, the Doraemon movie will hit the big screens on March 1, 2024. Fans can expect more details to emerge as the year progresses.

The highly anticipated movie will feature three new characters, including the talented Miina, a renowned singer within the film. With a successful music career, Miina has garnered international acclaim. Sporting a distinctive hair color that transitions from red to blue at the tips, Miina's character will be portrayed by Kyoko Yoshine, known for her role as Aya Chiyono in Seven Days War.
Mikka, another character seen in the trailer, comes from the abundant world of Mushiika, where "fare" is synonymous with music. Riana Hirano will lend her voice to this character.
Chapekku, a robot from Mushiika, serves as Mikka's caretaker, similar to Doraemon. Kokoro Kikuchi, known for voicing characters like Akito in Air Gear and Jin Tachibana in Chaos;Child, will voice Chapekku.
