“I didn’t forget the glare.”
When working on the OP, I want to cherish these words from the original game…
This is the film I approached with this in mind.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the director and other staff members who supported this OP, and to everyone at key/VISUALARTS who entrusted us with the song “Arcatail” that our fans love.
We have packed in as much of the charm of Summer Poke as possible, so nothing would make us happier than if the people who watched it were even a little bit happy.
With love to everyone on Toshiroshima…!
