The official website for Matsuyama City's anime short series announced on Wednesday that the sequel to its 2013 anime short will premiere on October 23.

GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE member Alan Shirahama will join the cast for the sequel. All the cast members are from Ehime Prefecture or from Matsuyama City itself aside from Watanabe, whose husband is from the area.

Saku Sakamoto directed and wrote the original short at Robot Studio and Kōji Endō provided the music. Junichi Tanaka served as creative director and original story creator.
