Yuuri says that "Merry-Go-Round" is a song about loving those you love who have been separated from you, expressing the growing up and thoughts of each of the seven children depicted in the film. "I hope that everyone who has seen the film will feel the theme song in their own way, and that this song will accompany you into your not-alone future. "
Ami Touma, who voiced the film's protagonist, Kokoro, also stars in the clip that depicts a warm but sad coming-of-age story. "This song that combines the lyrics that appeal to the heart and Yuuri-san's singing voice made it sad but compelling, and I immediately listened to it from my heart," she said. "The music video depicts a man and a woman who are in love with each other while growing apart. I would be happy if you could watch the music video along with Yuuri-san's wonderful singing voice."
