The minute long clip features the film’s theme song “Koisuru Hikari” (translated to “The light that falls in love”) performed by Starto Entertainment’s boy idol group Naniwa Danshi. “The theme song ‘Koisuru Hikari’ carefully describes the frustration of falling in love, so we sang and matched our feelings with the lyrics,” said the group’s Ryusei Onishi, who is also cast as the film’s protagonist, Eiji Aihara. “The melody is fast, and the chorus is very catchy, making it my personal favorite song! I am very excited that this song will be played in movie theaters! I hope you will love the song ‘Koisuru Hikari’ along with the movie, and I hope it will be a wonderful ending to the summer!”
