CoMix Wave Films announced on Sunday the release of its new short animation titled “Hatsukoi no Nioi” (“Scent of First Love”), in collaboration with singer-songwriter Sakura Fujiwara, who composed and performed the song of the same title for the short animation.
CoMix Wave Films is best known for producing Makoto Shinkai’s 5 Centimeters Per Second, your name., Weathering With You, and Suzume anime films.
Takagi, a fan of Sakura Fujiwara, personally asked her to produce the song for the short animation.
In terms of production, CoMix Wave Films employed a small number of elite members and adopted independent production methods that do not adhere to a section system.
