The video opens with Hikaru Shido, Umi Ryuzaki, and Fuu Hououji watching waves on a beach at night, then moves through other characters including Princess Emeraude in the same scenery.

It airs Wednesdays at 11:45 PM on TV Asahi's IMAnimation W slot across two consecutive cours, excluding some regions, with streaming after broadcast on services including ABEMA, d Anime Store, DMM TV, Hulu, U-NEXT, and Lemino.
