The official website of the Majestic Prince anime project revealed on Thursday that Natsumi Kon will perform the upcoming film's theme song "Kienai Sora" (The Sky That Doesn't Vanish). The song will be the fourth song she will perform for the franchise, after performing the television anime's "Watashi wa Sōzō Suru" opening theme, the "PROMPT" opening theme, and the "Kokoro wa Hitotsu Janai" insert song. The new song's CD single release is slated for November 9.

Eiji Inomoto is additionally returning as the CG producer, and Toshiyuki Watanabe is returning to compose the music. Yoshitaka Shishido (Supernatural: The Anime Series, Photo Kano), who is writing the Ginga Kikōtai Majestic Prince Hajimari no Shōjo, Yakusoku no Rasen original light novel, is writing the screenplay. Reiko Yoshida, who handled the series composition for the Majestic Prince television anime series, is serving as script supervisor.

The anime is currently being rebroadcast, and it will conclude with a new 25th episode that will feature the film's Team Forn. The episode will air on September 29.
