Production

This is the third dramatization of Kanae Minato's works in the Friday drama slot.。The production team behind the last two works Midnight Ferris Wheel in 2013, and Testimony of N in 2014, are also working on this film. This television series also depicts the continuation and the ending of the original story. The continuation was written by Minato, the author of the original story. Even though the ending is original to the television series, viewers were concerned about the show spoiling the original story during the broadcast because it is a mystery work.

Under the title of the official website, it says "birth:Re:verse," a portmanteau of "reverse" and "rebirth". The story is set in 2017, when the main character, Kazuhisa Fukase, meets his girlfriend, Mihoko Ochi. The show contains flashbacks to their college days in 2007, when the disappearance of Fukase's best friend, Yuki Hirosawa, occurred. In addition to the mystery element of finding out who has been sending threatening letters to the protagonists, the work depicts an ensemble drama in which a group of seminar mates who were not so close during their college days build a friendship.

This series began shooting in Nagano Prefecture, Japan on February 7, 2017. The snowy mountain scenes in episodes 1 and 2 were done almost entirely on location.

The theme song "Destiny" was performed by Che'Nelle, who was celebrating the 10th anniversary of her debut as a singer. Che'Nelle produced the song at the offer of the drama's producer, Junko Arai. Coincidentally, it was also the 10th anniversary of Minato's debut as a writer The melody is "impactful and catchy," and the lyrics, which are "in keeping with the story," have been described as having a great impact on the work. The song was ranked No. 1 in the music distribution ranking, the ranking of lyrics search sites, and in the top ranks of Usen Hit Ranking in Japan.
