On August 26, 2017, director Makoto Shinkai sent the script of the movie to vocalist Yojiro Noda for his opinions before he received the song "Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?" from Radwimps,[2] which is used as the film's theme song.[3][4] Another song, "Grand Escape", features vocals from Tōko Miura.[5][6] Other songs include "Voice of Wind", "Celebration" and "We'll Be Alright".[7]
