Interview with Sumiko Shindou

Firstly for the first opening, "Kiiroi Bakansu" (Yellow Vacance), could you explain the backgrounds that lead to its creation?

Shindou: It's a song the director ordered me to make sound like a "youth song from the 70s". I feel like it's nostalgic for people in their 30s, including our production side, but something new for younger people.

Did you keep the voice actresses playing the characters in mind?

Shindou: I thought about "How should they sing it". Since both Himeko and Rei are singing the same song, I thought if we didn't add some variety, it would get boring. So, I thought, "how would this character interpret the lyrics?" In the case of bees are acting strange and coming towards, Himeko would see it as fun, as if saying "Yaaay, the cute bees are coming~!", while Rei would say "Oi oi, the bees are coming. Give me a break already." I got the feeling that Rei was singing lyrics that didn't suit to her personality.
