Blu-ray is included in the first edition and limited edition edition. In addition, it has become a continuous animation tie-up from the previous work. The coupling includes a cover of Remioromen's "March 9", which has become a staple of graduation songs. However, he did not participate in this song because it was recorded after Serina, a member of the group, got sick at the end of 2021 and announced a long suspension of activities. In addition, a music video was produced and Sakura Endo, a member of Nogizaka46, appears in the video. Prior to the release of the package, "Your Name" was downloaded from February 16 and "March 9th" will be released from February 23 through various downloads and subscription services. The PV location is Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. While the Amazon version features two hands holding each other, the Square Enix one features an illustation of the two protagonists from the series: Vanitas and Noe Archiviste. Singer Mayu said that her siblings are fan of The Case Study of Vanitas so she wanted to make it as appealing as possible. She said the theme was different from their previous works, giving a suspicious feeling and sad feeling that fits the anime. Manaka referred to it as gothic based on the rearrangements. It uses few chorus while the vocals were called simple though Manaka said that Mayu's parts make it interesting. Manaka thought that the first half of the song was a song with a lot of breath from the members, so she was conscious of singing in a way that suits the mature atmosphere. After all, she always listen to the take of the member who sang before in order to be influenced. In retrospect, Mayu found it challenging. Music video

It is shot in a majestic chapel with large stained glass, suitable for a love song singing philosophical love, is composed mainly of dance performances that are linked to the world view of animation, along with supporting Shingo Okamoto.
