As her first anime theme song work, "Yokan" released digitally on April 9. "I have been exposed to Anne of Green Gables since I was a child, so I was very surprised when the decision was made for me to participate," Tota posted a comment about the song on her official website . "The song 'Yokan' is about changing the landscape of our daily lives. In today's fast-paced life, we tend to be pessimistic in the face of a reality that cannot be changed. However, not all events are pessimistic, and I think it is possible to look at them from other perspectives as well. I was encouraged by the way Anne reads the various difficulties she faces in a positive light. I have a feeling that the presence of Anne will support you to stand up even when you are crouching down. I would be happy if this song could be such an existence."
