Summary
[edit]"Hikari no Hate ni" is Fairies' first contribution to an anime series, first announced and performed during the anime's press conference in Sanrio Puroland.[2] One of the members, Momoka Itō, stated: "I'm honored to be able to perform at Sanrio Puroland where I've visited many times." Regarding the theme song, she said, "Our song is bracing just like the anime, and the choreography to the song is cute which people can emulate!"[3]
A short Dance PV of the song was later officially released on YouTube on April 5, 2013. On May 5, the single's release date was confirmed.[4] On June 6, 2013, a short preview of the full PV is shown on the official YouTube account along with two behind the scenes videos.[5]
