A portion of the song can be heard in the main trailer released today. The band's vocalist Haruko Nagaya, who wrote the lyrics of the song, shared the following comment: Despite the different historical setting, this film features many musical, artistic and aesthetic elements. With aspects like a band member having ballet experience, there are numerous points we can relate to. So we were truly delighted to receive this offer. Amidst many ties, we hope this becomes a catalyst for new action. With that wish in mind, we created this song, "Kaze ni Noru." Times change, and so do our worries. Yet at their core, people throughout history may have faced similar struggles. I hope you'll listen while reflecting on your own concerns and daily life. The band's bassist Shingo Anami, who composed and arranged the song, also posted the following comment: Having been inspired by works directed by Goro Taniguchi, including Code Geass , I felt a surge of excitement deep within my heart when we received this offer. As a person who happened to be exposed to classical ballet from a young age at my mother's ballet studio, I feel something like a precious connection. I sincerely hope this song, "Kaze ni Noru," will serve as a bridge connecting the modern world we live in today with the Paris of the early 20th century, where Fujiko and her friends lived.
