    • Trivia
      The Japanese title is "Nirai Kanai Kara No Tegami." Nirai Kanai is the land of the gods in the Ryukyuan religion (Okinawa once being part of the Ryukyu Kingdom). But the English title is "Letters From Kanai Nirai." For some unknown reason, "Nirai Kanai" has been inverted and is incorrect.
