Kyoto Animation's upcoming television anime Sparks of Tomorrow will feature opening and ending theme songs by Luna Goami and Ginger Root, respectively, with both tracks set for global digital release in July 2026. The opening theme "Eureka Evrika," performed by Luna Goami, will be released on July 6, one day after the series premiere on July 5. The ending theme "Soarin'," by Ginger Root, will follow on July 13. The series is set in an alternate-history early 20th-century Kyoto where steam power dominates, following a boy fascinated by electricity and a girl carrying her late mother's memory. "Eureka Evrika" was composed by Hitomi Koto, who also handles the series' soundtrack, with lyrics written by Goami. Goami stated she was pregnant during production, which she said added emotional depth to the song's themes of life and rebirth. Ginger Root, the solo project of Cameron Lew, wrote, composed, and arranged "Soarin'" entirely himself. Lew described the project as a dream opportunity as a longtime anime fan. Sparks of Tomorrow will air in Japan and stream globally on Netflix.
Luna Goami is known for vocal work on The Apothecary Diaries and the film Last Mile. Ginger Root, the solo project of Cameron Lew, has a breakout track "Loretta" with over 48 million streams. Both artists are making their first anime theme song contributions.
Goami described finding the title phrase while walking through Kyoto. "The moment the invented phrase 'Eureka Evrika' came to me, it felt like a literal lightbulb switching on in my mind," she said. She wrote the lyrics herself, drawing from the script and the director's vision. Hitomi Koto composed the track and also handles the series' soundtrack.
Ginger Root's "Soarin'" opens with a melancholic tone that shifts into rhythmic percussion. Lew said: "Flying through the sky is something regular humans can't actually do, right? But if you push yourself as hard as you can, don't you feel like it's within reach?" He wrote, composed, and arranged the track himself.
Goami's theatrical work includes vocal performances for stage productions of Demon Slayer and Shoujo YoRHa (set in the NieR:Automata world). In 2021, her work on Hide & Sniff earned a nomination for Best Original Score at the Nice International Film Festival in France. Ginger Root released his debut album Mahjong Room in 2018, followed by Rikki in 2020, and the EP City Slicker in 2021. His four-show Japan tour in January 2023 sold out, and he followed it with a six-date Zepp tour across Japan for his album SHINBANGUMI.
