She said that as the story progresses, her own heart is shaken a lot, but what Kokoro experiences is completely different, so she is collecting many things not in her repertoire and recording carefully with the creators.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHikaru Tono, voicing Kazane Ryuzaki, described her character as Hinata's childhood friend and a big-sisterly girl who cares about what she wants to protect. Tono said she thought \"What a dazzling girl!\" while reading the script, but noted that Kazane also uses many unladylike expressions. Yasuaki Takumi, voicing Daichi Amai, said he was drawn into the attractive world and read on with excitement and anticipation. Riona Imaizumi, voicing Kosame Amai, said her first impression of the character was \"Super cute!\" and that she related to her bossy-at-home side. Maaya Uchida, voicing Kirika Hatsuki, said that through various relationships she felt from reading the script that connections between people are an accumulation of miraculous things, like the difficulty of understanding each other's hearts. Shuta Morishima, voicing Kotaro Murakumo, said that in today's world where AI is evolving daily, he felt as if he were peeking into the world at the end of that evolution.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening theme \"Signal\" is performed by Runa Mizutani of NanosizeMir, with composition and arrangement by Fuminori Matsumoto and lyrics by Yuichi Kuwashima.
