Magic Knight Rayearth Releases Creditless “Hoshiakari” Ending, Announces Keiko Han as Narrator

Three friends quietly watch the waves at night! The creditless ending video for the TV anime *Magic Knight Rayearth* appeared just after midnight October 15 on the official TMS Anime channel. Its song is “Hoshiakari” by Kawaguchi Yurina.

An Ending That Lets the Story Linger

According to the official site, the video opens with Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu gazing at sparkling waves on a nighttime beach. Princess Emeraude and other characters then appear amid beautiful scenery.

Katsuhiko Sugiyama wrote the lyrics, and Gary Jeon composed and arranged the song. It began streaming Thursday, October 15. Kawaguchi Yurina said she is a fan of the original work and hopes the song helps viewers savor each episode’s lingering feeling.

Keiko Han Narrates from Episode Two

The official site also announced a new cast member that day: Keiko Han is the narrator. Episode two, “The Beginning of the Legend,” aired October 14.
