The tightly packed video was also packing some of the best staff in anime, with direction and storyboards from Rie Matsumoto (Kyousougiga), character designs and animation direction from Yuki Hayashi (My Hero Academia), at Bones. Producing the music video was produced by Genki Kawamura (Your Name) and Masami Hatanaka (Shogakukan's Sho-Comi magazine editor-in-chief).
