This is the first time the veteran singer has performed a theme song for any anime or game. (Nakajima’s songs have appeared in other anime’s soundtracks, and she wrote songs for Cosmowarrior Zero and Space Battleship Yamato 2199 for other singers.) Okada personally asked Nakajima about the theme song on last fall. At first, Nakajima wondered about this request because she knew very little about anime and games. However, Nakajima was convinced after reading Okada’s script and composing a song specifically for the film.
