One of the charms of this film is that Saint Yuki himself participated in supervising the work and designing the characters. The cast includes Keiichi Namba, who would gain popularity as Kazuya Uesugi in "Touch" as the main character, Rock, a boy who lives forever; Yoshito Yasuhara, famous for playing Toshio Utsumi in "Cat's Eye" as Ryu Yamaki; Keiko Ban as Jessica; and Yoshiko Fujita, Hidekatsu Shibata, Mieko Nobuzawa, Banjo Galaxy, and Shigeru Chiba, the best lineup when the film was released.
