The following are comments from the artists.

Koala Mode.
When I first read the original work, I was struck by the scene where Kimio, who was wallowing in a monotone world amidst a whirlpool of loss, gradually comes to see a colorful world through his encounter with Kaori-chan.
What I imagined there was that when the "rain" that keeps falling in one's mind touches someone else's "sun," a "rainbow" is born.
It didn't take me long to come up with the song "Nanashiki Symphony".
The work "Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso" is a wonderful depiction of the shaky psychology of 14-year-olds, who are always happy and fresh, but at a moment's notice, they seem to be drowning in sadness, and I feel a freshness that is unmixed in the work.
The atmosphere of the song "Nanashiki Symphony," which is the debut song of Koala Mode . I hope that the debut song "Nanashiki Symphony" and "Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso" will reach many people.


I hope that many people will be able to hear the song through "7! (Seven Ups).
I had originally read the manga and thought the composition of youth and music was very nice and interesting. I am honestly happy that we, as musicians, were given the opportunity to play the theme song for this work, which has music as its theme.
I wanted to express the unique worldview of "April is Your Lie" through the music! I composed the music with this in mind.
When I think of my loved ones, I naturally smile or feel a little sad...
Every time I listen to or play the song "Orange," I think it is just like Kimio Arima and Kaori Miyazono. It is a really gentle and warm song, so I hope you will listen to it while thinking of your loved ones.
I hope that our music will touch the hearts of many people along with this wonderful anime.
I hope this will be a good opportunity for us to share the world view of 7! I hope that this will be a good opportunity for us to share the world view of 7!
