Two renowned artists are responsible for the music: The opening theme will be performed by ReoNa with the song 'Amore,' and the ending theme by sajou no hana with 'Eternelle.' In a statement, ReoNa explained that she processed the limited time and forms of affection in the song. sajou no hana chose the French title for 'Eternity' to highlight the preciousness of the time spent together.
