Reporting from 1 source: Anime Anime.
Hitsujibungaku and Quruli co-wrote the opening and ending themes for the TV anime Kaze wo Tsugu Mono, set to air in January 2027, and also handle the theme for the theatrical advance version Kaze wo Tsugu Mono -Hajimari-, which screens from November 13, 2026. The opening is "Kaze wo Tsugu Mono" under the name Quruli + Hitsujibungaku; the ending, "Namida no Kawa," is credited to Hitsujibungaku + Quruli, with vocals by Moeka Shiotsuka. Quruli's Shigeru Kishida writes the soundtrack.
Both themes release through F.C.L.S. / Sony Music Labels, and Moeka Shiotsuka sings on each. "Namida no Kawa" gets an advance digital release on October 12, with Pre-Add and Pre-Save open on Apple Music and Spotify and an original smartphone wallpaper as a reservation bonus. A trailer for the theatrical advance version uses the song.
Kishida said he wrote the soundtrack as a set of over 50 tracks, drawing on Gion festival music, European classical music of the isolationist era, pre-dawn jazz, and contemporary sounds. He described "Namida no Kawa" as his own reconstruction of Hitsujibungaku's musicality and the opening as Hitsujibungaku racing across Quruli's sonic world. Hitsujibungaku said they sang the opening while picturing late Edo period scenery.
