Koki Mizuta and Takuto Teranishi are double-cast as Kousei's and Tsubaki's childhood friend, Ryota Watari.
Riko Sakaguchi, who co-wrote the screenplays for Isao Takahata's 2013 anime film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya and Hiromasa Yonebayashi's 2017 film Mary and the Witch's Flower, provides a script. And American composer Frank Wildhorn, who is known for his recent works for Death Note The Musical, composes all of the music.
