In this video, you can enjoy a sneak peek of the ending theme song "Anata wa Kaibutsu(you are my monster)" performed by TOOBOE, which is being revealed for the first time. Please look forward to the chilling blend of slice of life and the supernatural that defines this work.
Yumiri Hanamori (Asako Yamagishi)
I'm Yumiri Hanamori, who will be playing the role of Asako Yamagishi in "The Summer Hikaru Died".
The first time I read this work, I was greatly shocked that the story begins from the point where it didn't make it in time.
In a place that shouldn't have existed.
What if "something" very close to what didn't make it appears in front of us?
What choice would we choose?
What will be awaiting them at the end of their summer?
I will do my best to play the role so that you can feel the atmosphere that sticks to your skin.
Thank you very much.
Wakana Kowaka (Rie Kurebayashi)
I'm Wakana Kowaka, who will be playing the role of Rie Kurebayashi.
I'm looking forward to seeing how this work, which is filled with various emotions, how it will be visualized.
And the Mie dialect! We are all working so hard to record it!
I want to do my best to play Rie Kurebayashi, who is close to Yoshiki and Hikaru and has kindness in her sternness.
Chikahiro Kobayashi (Tanaka)
When I read the original story, my heart was firmly grasped from the beginning!
The scene of "Summer" that everyone feels nostalgic for is mixed with the fear and wonder of not knowing what is happening.
It's really interesting.
I'm very happy to be able to mix in with the atmosphere of this work...!
Let's watch it together when summer comes!
Asako Yamagishi (voiced by Yumiri Hanamori)
A classmate of Yoshiki. Since childhood, she has been able to "hear" things that ordinary people cannot. She is tall, lively, and intelligent.
Rie Kurebayashi (voiced by Wakana Kowaka)
A housewife who can "see" things that ordinary people cannot. She worries about Yoshiki, who is with a dangerous and terrifying presence, and warns him to stay away.
Tanaka (voiced by Chikahiro Kobayashi)
A man who seems to be investigating something for a certain company. He is always carefree and elusive. He has a hamster as his partner.
Theme Song for the Ending
"Anata wa Kaibutsu(you are my monster)" by TOOBOE
Lyrics, Composition, and Arrangement by TOOBOE
Release: Summer 2025
TOOBOE（ Ending theme song artist）
Hello, I'm TOOBOE, and I will be in charge of the ending theme song. In creating this piece, I delved deeply into the original story, contemplating how one might savor memories and promises upon realizing that the neighbor the one believed to be true isn't actually who the one thought. The more I tried to understand Yoshiki's feelings, the more pure, sorrowful, and cruel they became. The resulting song, "Anata wa Kaibutsu(you are my monster)" became a kind of forgiveness that I extended to the characters. I hope it can add a vibrant touch to this wonderful story. Thank you for your support.

Yuichi Takahashi (Character Designer & Chief Animation Director)
Hikaru and Yoshiki may appear simple at first glance, but the breath and body temperature emanating from inside the characters can be felt thanks to the overwhelming persuasiveness and descriptive power of the original work.
The heat oozing out of the characters, and the reconstruction of the original character modeling, which seems to depict that as well, was a challenge that had never been attempted before. We hope that we were able to reproduce the body temperature of the characters that we felt from the original work.
Masanobu Hiraoka (DORODORO Animator)
I am always thinking about how to express the unique and unsettling atmosphere of "The Summer Hikaru Died" in terms of the artwork.
In particular, the depiction of "DORODORO" with a heterogeneous presence is one of the important elements that accentuate the eeriness of this work.
The viscosity and weight of the movement, as well as the unpleasantness of the spread of the "DORODORO" were carefully considered in order to leave a strong impression on the audience.
We made sure that the disturbing nature of the original work and the horror that lurks within its beauty could be expressed in the images.
I hope you will enjoy the "distorted beauty" that only a film can capture.
Taro Umebayashi (Music)
I am very honored to be involved in Mokumokuren's "The Summer Hikaru Died" which is loved by so many fans.
I am working on the music for the animation directed by Ryohei Takeshita so that I can contribute to the expression of the work in any way I can.

In a certain village
Since their childhood, they have grown up together.
Yoshiki and Hikaru, childhood friends.
the sun shining down on them
the chirping sound of a cryptotympana facialis
Ice cream on the way home
Laughing over trivial things
One day in summer, no different from any other day
...... You're not Hikaru after all, are you?
Half a year ago, Hikaru went missing in the mountains.
A week later, he came back on a whim.
The voice, the figure, the thing that looked like Hikaru
What was stirring inside...
"Hikaru is no longer with us. ...... if that's the case."
Starting the days with "something" in the form of a friend,
The "same as usual" everyday life.
But at the same time...
Strange incidents begin to plague the village.
Falling into the unknown "something"
The curtain rises on a coming-of-age horror story.
