Comment from ACE COLLECTION's Tatsuya ◎
I am Tatsuya◎, vocalist of ACE COLLECTION!
I am very happy to have been chosen to sing the opening theme for this song!
This song is about "the frustration of love that arises when straight feelings collide with each other" with a fluffy melody, expressing emotions that go right and left through the development of the song, and incorporating a sense of speed from my youth and memories of my own experiences.
I think I have created a song that will be a lot of fun at live performances, and I hope to use this as an opportunity to see you at a live performance.
I hope this work will reach many people.
I hope that this work will reach many people.

Comment from Maruri and Ryuga
I wrote the song "Rinalia" as the ending theme for this project!
Linalia is the name of a flower that blooms around April, and the language of flowers is "notice this love".
I think I have written the perfect song to express the complicated feelings of the heroine, Ichika, and I hope this song will add flowers to make "It's weird to call it love" an even more wonderful work.
I hope this song will reach the hearts of many people.
