The trailer features the theme song of this film “Ketsugen” (In Conclusion) which will be performed by Centimillimental. The comments have also arrived from Centimillimental:
Nine years ago, when I fell in love with someone so much that my heart was about to burst, I thought, “I don’t want you to forget.”
Even if we get together, we will part ways, and even if we stay together, it’s inevitable that the end will come and separate us.
I realized that meeting means that we will eventually separate, and I felt that it was very lonely. I wondered how I could make this love, the two of us, last forever, and wrote a song. I thought that at least it would remain in music.Since then, I have played it with care and it has become a song that is like my life itself.

Crunchyroll Describes the story for this anime:
“Somehow, the guitar that he used to love to play and the basketball games that he found so fun just lost their appeal…
That was until Ritsuka Uenoyama randomly met Mafuyu Sato. Ritsuka had started losing his passion for music in his everyday life, but then he heard Mafuyu sing for the first time. The song resonates with his heart and the distance between them starts to change.“
