This marks Pilaf Seijin's first tie-up with an anime, and he commented, "I'm Pilaf Seijin, and I've been chosen to perform the ending theme! I still can't believe that my first anime song is for the unexpected ' The Mission: Yozakura Family'...! 'Shalala' is a song that sings about the theme of love, which is also depicted in the anime, but also fully expresses my own unique worldview, so please look forward to the anime!!!!"
The second main promotional video has been released on YouTube, showcasing the ending theme "Shalala" by Pilaf Seijin and a snippet of the opening theme "What's "KAZOKU"?" sung by the idol group Sakurazaka46.
