Azuna Riko as an opening artist
I am Azuna Riko, and will perform the opening theme 'keep weaving your spider way'.
I was excited and wondering how Kumoko-chan got over problems, and finished reading the original novel.
I am looking forward to seeing how the battle scenes are depicted in the anime!
I have sung the opening theme, thinking 'I will live through my life! (life as a spider)' and 'I will never give up!'.
The everyday life that we used to take for granted is unstable today, and we are trying to step forward, so I would like to send you a message 'never give up to live through'. Please look forward to it.
'I' (CV: Yuki Aoi) as an ending artist
I am always messing around through the main story, and I apologize for behaving the same in the ending as well.
You are the only ones who look over Kumo-chan's lonely life with a warm heart. Please do not abandon me. (cry) Please enjoy the main story and songs which will change the negative to positive! Ohhhhh!!!

"Bokura Teki niwa Riso no Rakugo" is a new type of Rakugo entertainment where Nakajima, Ito, Tsuchida, and Sakakibara play as fudanshi rakugo storytellers and perform rakugo in pairs.
Having Nakajima as Mousou-tei Yoroshiki, Ito as Mousou-tei Waon, Tsuchida as Mousou-tei Agari, and Sakakibara as Mousou-tei Takemaru, the storytellers belong to “Mousou-tei” who are good at BL Rakugo and Morikawa Toshiyuki is the narrator as their teacher.
In Episode 13, "Kokono Shikiri", Agari and Takemaru are given their first big stage performance. They are having a hard time deciding on a rakugo story, so they think of all the rakugo they have performed so far and come up with an idea of making a rakugo story in which everyone in the cafe appears.
Ahead of their gaze, there is Usui Ao (Tsuyuguchi Yuto), a waitress, who is being wished a happy birthday by all the regulars. To see that, they come to think of the classic rakugo story "Go For Wool and Come Home Shorn," in which a group of people go to pick up a young master who hasn't returned from Yoshiwara and end up playing together.
