“When I saw the completed film, I was so impressed by how professional the action shots were. At the same time, the actors have such a great sense of humor and can still make you laugh. We had a lot of fun. When our song Janaindayo played at the end, it hit me hard! I was grinning, like, “that couldn’t be our song, could it?” Thank you so much!”

<Theme Song Performer: RIN (Atarashii Gakko!)>
“When Janaindayo starts playing during the credits after such an incredible battle, I realized that the depth of what I felt was only possible because I had watched the whole film. This extraordinary world is totally normal for these tough women. This movie will make you realize that not everything is always as it seems…I hope you enjoy the film and our song together!”

<Theme Song Performer: MIZYU (Atarashii Gakko!)>
“The fighting and action scenes in this movie were so cool. Seeing such incredible action on a massive screen makes it even more powerful! The director’s playful spirit comes through in the dialogue, and I laughed and smiled a ton. I was happy to hear our theme song Janaindayo during the credits–it seemed to match the two main stars, like a theme song for them. I would love to see it in the theater again, and I hope that all kinds of people go to see it too!”

<Theme Song Performer: KANON (Atarashii Gakko!)>
“This is our first theme song for a movie, so I’m just overjoyed and so excited! When I saw the finished film and our song was played during the credits, I felt a shiver run down my spine. We’re truly honored to have provided the theme song for such a wonderful film. I hope you enjoy listening to this powerful and thrilling song that matches so well with this awesome movie!”
