Her new song is titled 'STORY' and was written specifically for the series. niina commented on the meaning of the song in a statement: "The song 'STORY,' which I wrote as the ending theme for the TV anime, was created with the image of Rudd and Elysia supporting each other and moving forward into the future together—no matter how difficult the path, because the important person is by their side. I would be happy if this song, together with the work, becomes a part of the story that brightens the hearts of the viewers."
