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.","whyItMatters":"Both artists are making their debut anime theme song contributions for a Kyoto Animation production, a studio whose work carries significant weight in the industry, and the tight release schedule ties the music directly to the premiere week.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eLuna Goami is known for vocal work on \u003cem\u003eThe Apothecary Diaries\u003c/em\u003e and the film \u003cem\u003eLast Mile\u003c/em\u003e.
