Comment from Yoshiyuki Fujiwara
I think this title is about the subtle tension between two people who are talking to each other like a chemical change, and the person who is talking to the other person has a change of heart as he or she talks. It is a title that carefully follows the distance and tension in a relationship, so I have to make arrangements to drive it into a single situation. I carefully extracted what I want to be with people and what I feel stressed about in such situations, and as a result, I came up with the structure as shown here.

Is the reality of hope and worries for Rikuo and his friends really a bad thing? I think the theme of what happiness means is a theme that can be understood by today's generation, and I hope that people will enjoy it.

Comment by Hitoshi Tanaka
The era of Japan depicted in this film was a time of gradual hardship for young people, and that continues to this day. Like Rikuo, there are many people who became adults with vague feelings such as not being able to find a job, and I hope that people who are not familiar with that era will be able to feel something about it. I hope people who don't know about that era will be able to feel something about it.

Comment from Shohei Koga (original text)
With the cooperation of many people, we were able to take charge of an anime theme song for the first time in our music career. I grew up watching a lot of anime, so I was really just happy to be in charge of an anime theme song. It was a beautiful work, and I was able to sink into the complex emotions and humanity of the main characters at the time, and create the song in a flowing way. I hope to convey the charm of the work "Yesterday wo utatte" in the form of music, and I hope you enjoy the music until the ending.

I hope you will enjoy the song until the ending.
