Kadokawa has released the full music video for “Colorful Starting Line,” the latest song for Nagaru Tanigawa’s Haruhi Suzumiya light novel franchise.
“Colorful Starting Line” is the result of a crowdfunding campaign that allowed fans to fund more tracks for the Haruhi Suzumiya series. Satoru Kōsaki composed the first two songs, including “Invincible(ish) Happiness!,” while Tsubasa Ito composed the third song.
Previously, the staff of the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise also released The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya light novel on November 29, 2024. It will released simultaneously worldwide with two previously released short stories and a new sequel to those stories. Lastly, Yen Press describes the light novel series as follows:
Haruhism has seized the nation with the release of the highly successful animated series DVD that was one of the top ten bestselling anime properties in 2007. Yen Press and Little, Brown Books for Young Readers will publish the novel and manga series back-to-back, with hardcovers of the novels with the original Japanese cover art for libraries and hardcore fans of the property.
When Haruhi Suzumiya introduces herself to Kyon by asking if he’s an alien, time traveler, or psychic, he knows his chances for a normal high school experience are ruined. Bold Haruhi takes a shine to him, and uses the force of her irrepressible personality to draft him into her club to find paranormal beings. Kyon soon discovers what she’s looking for: Haruhi herself has the power to destroy and create entire universes at her whim. But if she knew about her ability, it could spell disaster for everyone.
