The film's main theme is Habit by Jpop band SEKAI NO OWARI. The trailer highlights major events in the original series such as Kimihiro Watanuki making his wish at Yūko's shop and Shizuka Doumeki (starring Hokuto Matsumura) wielding his arrows to save Watanuki. Original scenes have also been added.
