Notably, the official site and X account for The Beginning After the End anime have shared a comment from the ending theme artist. Regarding the ending theme, Seiza said:

"When I think that everyone can see the same moon no matter where they are in the world or how far apart they are, I feel that this sky is truly connected. The white moon floating in the blue midday sky is the motif of something that connects those who are leaving and those who are seeing them off, and it is a song filled with motherly love and warmth."

Seiza adds:

"This is the first song I have written for an anime ending theme, but I think that I have been able to create something that is still unique to me in a good way. I hope you will join me on Arthur's journey."
