Makishima commented, “Has there ever been a protagonist who is so calm and gentle, even when transported to another world? I, too, would like to have the freedom to think of my life, no matter how hectic, as a ‘vacation’. There are many charming, cool, and cute characters, starting with the main character, LiZEL. I think we’ll discover new, charming sides of them when it’s animated. I’m really looking forward to that, and I’m thrilled to be in charge of the opening theme. Let’s all enjoy this work!”
Naota said, “Since I started my career as an artist, one of my goals was to collaborate with an anime, and now it’s finally come true. Thank you so much! ‘Ussura’ is the kind of song you’ll find yourself humming along to while making coffee on a holiday morning. The gentle guitar and calming violin make you feel like your day is about to begin a little better than usual. I hope you enjoy listening to it along with the anime. Thank you very much!”
