[Riria. Comments]

I’m very happy to be in charge of the opening theme for “Kimi Ai” and “The next Duke, who said, “I don’t want to love you,” for some reason I’m in charge of the opening theme!
I wrote down the Elsa and Julius in “Someday-chan.”
I’d be happy if this song was in the story of the two people envisioned.

The ending theme of this work, “Final Episode,” is a refreshing and hopeful song with feelings for the other person and the desire to believe in a happy future.

[Comment from sorato]

This is SORATO, who will be in charge of the ending theme. I am very happy to be part of “Kimi Ai”.
I’ve always been interested in the parts of the fairy tale, “The two of us lived happily ever after.” I feel that I can move forward together with the fact that I was able to sympathize with the inner side of Julius, and I was able to touch the innocence of Elsa, and I was able to create the “final episode” while reading the story of the two.
I want to watch “Kimi Ai” while feeling a lot of pain, and I’m looking forward to the final episode of the story.
