Kazuyoshi Saito's famous song "The Ballad of Utatai" was chosen as the theme song because its theme of "the importance of conveying one's true feelings" fits perfectly with the world view of the song. One of the highlights of the film is the scene in which the main character, Kai, sings "The Ballad of the Singing Star" and cries out his feelings in the song, revealing his true feelings.

Kazuyoshi Saito's comments】 （*Titles omitted)
It took me a long time to write the lyrics to "The Ballad of the Singing Star" after the song was written. However, once the first line was written, the lyrics came out just as easily as if the atmosphere of the song called to me.
When I was asked about the theme song, I wondered if it was really appropriate (laugh), but when I watched the film, I saw that the song was used many times in the film.
