New PV for the Anime "Kakekoi": Ending Song by Yui Sakurai (FRUITS ZIPPER)

A second promotional video has been released for the TV anime "Kakekoi" (full title: "Transparent na Yoru ni Kakeru Kimi to, Me ni Mienai Koi wo Shita."). It features the first listen of the ending song, performed by Yui Sakurai of the idol group FRUITS ZIPPER. The title of the new song is "Hikari" (Light).

The anime tells the pure love story between the shy college student Kakeru Sorano and the blind heroine Koharu Fuyutsuki. The new PV focuses on Koharu, who sees her blindness not as a limitation but as a different way of experiencing the world—her cheerfulness and positive attitude are at the center.

The music for the anime is composed by Harumi Fukiishi. Regarding the musical accompaniment, she says: "I hope the audience enjoys the fleeting yet powerful music, which, like fireworks, brings out the strength of each instrument (piano, strings, woodwinds). Accompany the tender love story of Kakeru and Koharu."

Yui Sakurai, celebrating her first year as a solo artist, commented as follows: "I am very happy to be singing an anime ending for the first time. The song expresses the transience and preciousness of the story and nestles close to Koharu's purity and her sincere feelings."

The anime's broadcast begins on July 6, 2026 on channels such as AT-X, TOKYO MX, MBS, and BS11. On most channels, the audio can be switched to an accessible audio track (audio guide). AT-X will also air a separate version with this audio track.
