Three talented young directors from Japan and China have come together: Yi Xiaoxin, a live-action director making his first attempt at animation; Yoshitaka Takeuchi, who has supported Shinkai's works as CG chief (this is his first original film as director); and Li Haolin, who admired Shinkai after seeing "5cm per second" and has long sent love calls to CWF.

Bicke Blanca's comment
The song is titled "WALK" and was produced by I felt the enthusiasm of the production staff and was even more enthusiastic about the project. It was easy to build up the worldview until we created the music through the images, and I simply turned what the three stories had in common into sound.

It is truly a song that I wrote with my own pen. It was an honor to be involved.
