Kajiura;

The song has kind of vigorous and liveliness with a vocal of four FictionJuntion divas. Hope you enjoy the anime, and our song. I really look forward to it.

The ending song "Tsuki Shirube(Sign of the Moon)" is written and composed by Takumi Ozawa and sung by Yuuka Nanri, known for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and .hack//Roots. Nanri was once a vocalist of FictionJunction and became solo singer in 2009.

Nanri:

Here's my new song, which needed a huge effort to finish this inspiring song. It's my honor to join Okami Kakushi by this song. Hope this Tsuki Shirube will be loved by fans, as same as the animation.

Other voice actors do the voice of same characters continuing from the game, which surely entertain us with same story, same voice but different touch.
