"I was in charge of the scenario for Summer Birds. Since it was a summer story this time around, I took the chance to depict AKATSUKI prior to the events of the main story & the student lives of Souma and the others. I wonder who's responsible for the glasses Souma and the members of the next scout (Keito Lecture) are wearing!" [1]
Trivia
The bird that appears in the story CGs and associated MV is known as the black paradise flycatcher (Terpsiphone atrocaudata). Its Japanese name, sankouchou (三光鳥,lit. bird of three lights?), also appears in the event title.
Part of its signature birdcall can be transcribed as "tsuki-hi-hoshi" (「月日星」,lit. "moon-sun-star"?)[2], which reflects the card names for Keito, Kuro and Souma respectively. This phrasing can also be found in the lyrics to the associated song.
