Director Kenji Kamiyama
I knew that Mr. Takahata is an excellent singer, but when I first heard "Day Dream Believer," I was so happy that I couldn't help but grin. It is a great piece of music. This song would be meaningless without Takahata-san. I could say that the work would be complete if it were sung by "Kokone Morikawa," who is played by Mr. Takahata. I am very happy that she agreed to sing the theme song.

Mitsuki Takahata
This is the first time for me to sing the theme song for a work in which I also acted as a voice actor. Moreover, I am going to sing a song that I like very much. I still have a vivid image of Seishiro's wonderful image in my mind, so I thought it would take courage to cover the song, and I was worried about whether I would be able to handle it. However, the director said he wanted me to sing the role as it is in the end roll, and I thought that would be interesting, so I decided to take on the challenge. I thought it would be interesting, so I decided to take on the challenge. I hoped to see the music from KOKONE's point of view, which was different from Seishiro's, and concentrated on enjoying this supremely cool song as much as I could. I hope you will also enjoy "Day Dream Believer" as seen from Kokone's point of view.
