== Music ==
The film's score was composed by John Powell. For Hanazuki, Powell had written a few emotional themes that would focus on the character's emotional side, with Wan's idea on turning Hanazuki into a sort of "mythical and historical character" and referred her to Exodus or Moses. Several themes were created on the character dynamics, her relationship with Kiazuki and a theme for Rakamus, had been produced into that process. Powell took influence from real-world cultural music to represent different planets in the film, including using Aztec music for the jungle planet Okawi, Nordic folk music for the ice planet Frignir and Arabic sounds for the desert planet Shalia.
