About The Anthem of the Heart

A feature-length animated film in which Jun Naruse, a girl who sealed away her words after an incident in her childhood, takes on a musical in her second year of high school with three classmates she had no connection with before. The staff of "Anohana" once again depicted the Chichibu region as the setting.

Chichibu City and Yokoze Town are the settings of the work. In the Chichibu Anime Tourism Executive Committee's 10th anniversary puzzle-solving rally, Hitsujiyama Park, Bokusui Falls, Yokoze Station, and Daiji-ji Temple (Pilgrimage Temple No. 10) were set as spots to visit using the location-visit map.
