imase's connection to the Just Like Mona Lisa anime runs through one song. The ending theme "Mayoi wa Hikari" is announced and previewed in the first main trailer, released alongside the first main visual and the confirmation of a 2027 premiere. The same song appears in the first main promotional video, which carries animation by Shaft.
Coverage of the series arrived in two pieces on the same day. The earlier report centered on the 2027 broadcast, the visual and the promotional video, and listed the cast around Chika Anzai as protagonist Hinase. The later report added the trailer and named seven supporting cast members, though the website did not say which characters they voice. Direction is by Kana Shundo at Shaft, with CyberAgent managing production.
The other stories in the cluster do not involve imase. They cover a Steam demo for a VTuber agency security guard game, the end of Aguri Kurita's Midari ni Tsukasete wa Narimasen, and the cast and theme songs for Uchi no Otouto-domo ga Sumimasen, whose music is performed by DISH// and Reira Ushio. Nothing in them adds to the record on imase beyond the Mona Lisa ending theme.
