This is the first time that Naotaro Mori has written and sang a song for an animated work.I decided to be in charge of the theme song because I was sympathized with the world view and story of the same work.Naotarou Mori's opening theme song "Thank you is this leaf" and Inori Hase (the main character, Somali)'s ending theme "Kokoro Somari" are both original songs inspired by the work. It was announced that Inori Mizuse will also be in charge of writing the lyrics.

Naotaro Mori, Inori Yase, and Ryo Yoshimata, who plays music, commented on the music in charge as follows.

 

■ Comment by Naotaro Mori

I read the original story and tried to make it with the feeling that I would sing as a scene of the story while going back and forth between fantasy and nostalgia. The song "Thank you for this leaf".

The recording was very lively with the feeling that the journey between Somali and Golem was just as it was.

I came across this work and got a glimpse of a world I didn't know.thank you.

 

■ Comment from Inori Mizuse

Since I can express the gentle bond between Somali and Dad in the world of singing, I was in charge of writing and singing with all my might.

A person who is dyed with the love and bond of parents, the connection with big people, and the kindness.

I would like you to listen to it, including the world view of your work, and think of your big person.

 

■ Comment from Ryo Yoshimata

The theme of this time is deep forest, various towns, people's trips, and friendship.Through discussions with the production staff, we created together how to express each scene and appearance in a fictional world view with music. As [Music: Ryo Yoshimata], I would be honored if I could be a part of this work.

 

In addition, Yu Kobayashi has been selected to play the role of "Kikira", who will be the first friend of the main character, Somali.Mr. Kobayashi commented on this appearance as follows.

 

■ Comment by Yu Kobayashi

My name is Yu Kobayashi and I will play the role of Kikira.

I really like "Somali and the Forest God", which gently and warmly stimulates the beautiful and detailed world view and the big parts.

I am very happy to be able to appear in this work as Mr. Kikira.I am grateful for the warm welcome at the recording site, which is surrounded by a calm and wonderful atmosphere as it is in the world of the work.

I played as hard as I could.All the fascinating characters such as Somali and Golem, the delicate subtleties are carefully drawn, and it really shakes me.

I would be grateful if you could take a trip together.Thank you.
