Shigeru Kishida is writing the soundtrack for the TV anime Kaze wo Tsugu Mono and co-wrote its opening and ending themes with Hitsujibungaku. The anime is set to air in January 2027, with the theatrical advance version Kaze wo Tsugu Mono -Hajimari- screening from November 13, 2026.
Shigeru Kishida's role on Kaze wo Tsugu Mono was established in two stages. The second cast reveal PV, released ahead of the September 19 and 20 Kyomafu stage event and ticket pre-sales, listed the music for the original TV anime as his, alongside director Tomohiro Kawamura, scripts by Yutaka Nari, and production by Aniplex, Live2D, and Drive. That announcement placed him on the project without saying what the music would sound like or how it would be credited.
The theme song announcement a week later answered part of that. Kishida's band Quruli co-wrote the opening and ending themes with Hitsujibungaku, and the two acts split the credit according to which side's sound leads. The opening, titled "Kaze wo Tsugu Mono," is credited to Quruli + Hitsujibungaku. The ending, "Namida no Kawa," is credited to Hitsujibungaku + Quruli, with vocals by Moeka Shiotsuka. Both themes also serve the theatrical advance version, Kaze wo Tsugu Mono -Hajimari-, which screens from November 13, 2026.
The anime itself is set to air in January 2027. Kishida's soundtrack credit and the co-written themes are the only parts of his involvement the stories state. The cast side of the project is fuller: five newly announced voices joined six already-announced leads in the second PV, with Ryohei Kimura as Shinshichi Nagakura, Ayumu Murase as Heisuke Todo, Shinba Tsuchiya as Sanosuke Harada, Takeo Otsuka as Keisuke Yamanami, and Yasuyuki Kase as Kamo Serizawa.
