"Invisible" is the sophomore directorial work of veteran animator and supervising animator Akihiko Yamashita, the first being the Ghibli Museum-exclusive short film Chûzumô (2010), premiered eight years prior, and his debut as a writer.
"Life Ain't Gonna Lose" is Yoshiyuki Momose's first time directing an original creation of his own since Ghiblies: Episode 2 (2002), premiered 16 years ago.
"Kanini & Kanino" is both the first work with a screenplay written by Hiromasa Yonebayashi alone and the first directed by him with an original screenplay.
