Inoue claims to be a big fan of the original manga. She commented: ‘The pure and beautiful romance and friendships make my heart flutter and I fully support the romance between Kaizaki and Hishiro.’ About the song she said, ‘I’d like to express the sensitive development of the character’s emotions and the frustrations of love in a refreshing way in this song, just like the story does.’ The title of the song and the release date have yet to be made public.
