Trivia / Your Lie in April

• Beam Me Up, Scotty!: In the Chinese fandom, it is common to find the line "Loved you for ten years, yet used April to weave a lie that I don't" (喜欢你十年，却用整个四月编织不爱你的谎言) attributed to it.
• Colbert Bump: In an interview, One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda praised the series, declaring himself jealous of it and praising its ability to portray music in its art. Within the day, the series began selling out to the point that the publishers had to order reprints.
• The Danza: Ryota Watari, who is voiced by Ryōta Ōsaka in the anime adaptation.
• Dawson Casting: For the film adaptation, Kento Yamazaki, who played Kento as a teenager, was 21, while Kanata Fujimoto, who played him as a seven-year-old, was 13.
• Directed by Cast Member:
  • The anime's English dub was directed by Patrick Seitz, who also voiced Yoshiyuki Miyazono (Kaori's father).
  • In the anime's German dub, René Dawn-Claude is Saito's voice actor as well as the ADR director.
  • Cesar Lechiguero, who directed the anime's European Spanish dub, also voiced Yoshiyuki Miyazono, Junzo Ibata and several minor characters.
• Fake Nationality: While the English production of the stage musical has a predominantly Asian cast, none of the leads are Japanese. Zheng Xi Yong (Kousei) is Malaysian and Chinese, Rumi Sutton (Kaori) is Thai, Rachel Clare Chan (Tsubaki) is Singaporean, and Dean John-Wilson (Ryota) is Cantonese.
• Late Export for You: In North America, Kodansha Comics began publishing the manga in 2015, four years after its Japanese debut.
• No Dub for You: As of 2023, the only languages the anime's dubbed in are English, European Spanish and German.
• No Export for You:
  • The final manga volume, titled "Coda", released alongside the Japanese DVD and Blu-ray releases for the anime, has yet to be published in English, despite being published in French, Spanish, and Italian.
  • Additionally, the OVA episode titled "Moments" which was included with volume 11 of the manga, has never been released outside Japan, as tends to be the tradition with manga bundle OVA's.
  • The live-action film adaptation hasn't seen a worldwide release as of 2023.
• Technology Marches On: In the manga and the anime, the characters still use dumbphones. While the exact In-Universe timeframe is not clearly established, the manga began in 2011, where smartphones are already available but not as widespread as it is (especially in animes) in 2013 onwards. The Live-Action Adaptation has them using smartphones instead.
• What Could Have Been: In an interview with the author Naoshi Arakawa, he said at one point he wanted to change the manga ending he originally planned with Kaori surviving her operation rather than dying. However, he stuck with the original ending since he already told the producer of the anime how the manga will end.
