The official website for the upcoming TV anime adaptation of Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin – a 2020 action RPG developed by Edelweiss for the Nintendo Switch, Playstation4, and PC – has released a main trailer featuring the opening theme song "Harebare!" (Bright and Clear) performed by two-member musical unit Ikimonogakari . It is also announced that the P.A.Woks-animated adaptation is set to premiere on the TV Tokyo Network on July 6, 2024. Masayuki Yoshiwara ( The Eccentric Family ) serves as director along with series composition writer Jukki Hanada ( Love Live! ), and six-member Japanese girl vocal group Little Glee Monster provides the ending theme "ORIGAMI." "Harebare! was newly written and composed by the unit's guitarist/pianist, Yoshiki Mizuno. The units says, "'Stronger, weaker, live through it.' The song is based on the image of a strong and vigorous life, with strength and weakness combined, just like ears of rice swaying in the wind under a clear sky. I hope to push the back of the resilient Sakuna-hime with a strong melody that makes life sprout. Please enjoy the song along with the anime."
