Comments from "Yorshika
n-buna (guitarist/composer)
Yorshka itself is a band that creates works based on a concept, so I was worried about how far I could go in creating a work based on our worldview, but my fears were unfounded. I was reassured when the director told me to go ahead and do it freely at the first contact.
One of the concepts for the next album was the atmosphere from spring to early summer, so I thought it would not be out of place in the world of the film, and I went with what I was trying to write at the time. All three songs are about the town in my memories.
Ghosts in the flowers" ... The title of this song means that you see the figure of memories in the flowers blooming in summer, because ghosts are memories.
Yoru-go" ... The night here is the night of life. I wrote this song about becoming an adult, forgetting, and going towards death, and substituted them with the night.
Lying Moon" ... I am a liar. The lyrics are interspersed with phrases by Ozaki Houya.

suis (Vocals)
I love animation movies, so I was so happy to hear Yorshka at the end roll of an animation movie! I was so excited to hear Yorshka at the end roll of an animated film. At the same time, I remember that I had an ambition to make everyone who saw the movie cry, and I was determined to sing a good song.

The new PV of "I want to cry, I wear a cat's head!

The new PV released this time also starts with a scene in which Hinode, who does not know that her true identity is Muge, thinks about her in front of Taro. Muge, who has always been cheerful and cheerful, surprising people with her air-headed words and actions, loses her energy completely after an incident. Hinode recalls Muge's smile and begins to realize that he was supported by her, saying, "She was always trying her best to smile in front of me.

The film is full of scenes that will raise expectations for the full-length version, including Mugue's bubbling smile, scenes of Hinode and Taro spending "just the two of them" in their daily lives, and Mugue and Hinode holding hands. The sad lyrics and melody of the end song "Usozuki" also add depth to the film.

＜Story＞
I want to help you. I want to be told that I love you-.
Miyo Sasaki is an eighth grade girl who is always cheerful and jovial. Her classmates call her by the nickname "Muge (Infinity Mystery Human)" because she surprises them with her out-of-the-ordinary words and actions. In reality, however, she is very considerate of those around her and spends her days suppressing her emotions, contrary to her nickname "Mugen (Infinite Mystery Man).
Every day, Muguet boldly makes advances toward his classmate Kento Hinode, but his advances are met with no response at all. She is undeterred and continues to appeal to him, but she has a secret that she can't tell anyone.
She has a secret that she can't tell anyone: she takes the form of a cat and goes to see Hinode, whom she loves very much.
One night at a summer festival, the owner of a cat mask store gave Muge a mysterious mask that, when worn, transformed her into a cat, and ever since then she has been going to Hinode's house as Taro the cat.
Normally, Hinode acts coolly, but he is able to confide his honest feelings only to Taro, and Taro has gradually become Hinode's support.
≪When they are "humans," they are distant from each other, but when they are "cats," they are close to each other. Muge, too, finds the freedom of not having to worry about her relationship with others when she is a cat, and gradually becomes comfortable with it. The longer he spends as a cat, the more blurred the boundary between himself and cats becomes.
One day, the owner of the cat store reappears and asks Muge to exchange her "face" for a cat's "mask," forcing her to give up her "human" identity and live as a "cat.
I want to stay by your side forever. But I will never be able to return to "I" again.
Who is supporting me? When they realize what is important to them, their world begins to change.
