Asked about his impression of the film, Mr. Ishikawa commented, "It is a work that gradually warms my heart and brings gentle tears to my eyes. She also commented on what she was conscious of when playing Violet: "This is a story after the TV series, so Violet has grown little by little over the years. I would be happy if you could feel Violet's growth and different atmosphere.

Ms. Chihara, who is in charge of the theme song for this work following the ED theme song for the TV series, said, "I am very happy to be in charge of the theme song for Gaiden.
I was very surprised to be in charge of the theme song for the "Gaiden" series. I felt a lot of pressure to write good lyrics. I wrote the lyrics once and had them read by Director Fujita, but his retake was a colorful handwritten letter. Director Fujita read the lyrics in detail and made various suggestions. I was so moved by the letter that I wrote the lyrics to the song, wanting to respond to Director Fujita's wishes and make it a song just for this film," he said. Mr. Saito said, "The theme song is in line with this story, so I think the lyrics are ideal so that when you look back on them after watching the film, you will understand everything about the film.

When asked about Isabella and Taylor, who appear in the film, Saito commented, "Please pay attention to the three sisters, Isabella and Taylor, and Violet," while taking care not to spoil the film.
Ms. Ishikawa added, "During the post recording, Director Fujita told us what he wanted to say, and it seemed like a letter when he wrote what he wanted to say on a piece of paper and read it. I thought it was very "Violet Evergarden"-esque.

When asked about his recommendation for the film, Mr. Saito said, "This time, the point is not so much that Violet goes forward, but rather that the people around her become wonderful because of her involvement. Ms. Ishikawa showed a flower she was wearing that day. Ms. Chihara said, "Taylor's line when she first meets Violet is just so cute, so make sure you don't miss it.

The three actresses concluded the performance with a few words each, with Ms. Ishikawa saying, "I am very grateful that so many people have seen the play since the first day. Violet Evergarden" was created with the help of so many staff members, and we, the cast, put our hearts into our performances. I am sure you will see many names in the end roll. I would be happy if you could watch the film until the end and leave with a lasting impression that so many people's thoughts and feelings were put into this work. If it continues to remain in your hearts as an important work, the feelings of everyone involved in "Violet Evergarden" will also live on. I hope that the circle of "Violet Evergarden" will continue to expand. I hope that the circle of "Violet Evergarden" will continue to expand.
