Comments from Ms. Kamiyama, Mr. Kuwabara, the original author, and Naohiro "Tady" Yoshidaira, the director, are as follows (all in Japanese).

Comment from Yoh Kamiyama
When I read the original story of Airborne Dragons, I was immediately drawn into the world and the pictures drawn with smooth beautiful lines. Now that it is being made into an anime, I am looking forward to seeing the powerful dragons and human-like characters in action on film. I am very honored to be involved in the music for this work, which will surely remain in everyone's memories because of the beautiful blue of the sky. I hope you enjoy "Gunsei" along with the anime. In "Gunsei," I expressed the innocent blueness and the free-spiritedness of travel. The sound of the song can be listened to as a dance music or a song. We hope you will enjoy the sound that brings to mind a scene.

Comment from the original author, Tainori Kuwabara
First and foremost, I am very happy that Mr. Kamiyama met Airborne Dragons and this song was born. When I first heard this song, I felt the cold wind and dazzling light above me. Then, the word "drifting" suddenly came to mind. The journey of the Quinn Zaza, which "catches the wind, catches the shadow, and continues on its journey," is truly drifting. The lives of many young people are also drifting. The color "Gunsei" that Mr. Kamiyama saw is the color of "drifting. Free, vast, and uncertain. I love this song.

Director: Naohiro "Tady" Kichihei
When I first heard the demo of this song, I was struck by a sensation that gave me goosebumps. I was surprised that the visual sense of the animation we were trying to create was expressed directly in the music, and the intensity of the musical sensibility made me fall in love with it at once. The new, challenging, and emotional musical development was fused with a highly sympathetic melody, making it easy to listen to, yet profound in every way! Listening to the song again, I was roared with "This song is awesome!" I was astonished. The song "Gunsei," which condenses the artistic personality of Yoh Kamiyama and the fun of "Airborne Dragons" entertainment, beautifully depicts even the scene in the sky where Mika and Takita live. I'm so glad I came across this song!
