New Haruhi Suzumiya Song And Music Video in Production

A new song and music video for the Haruhi Suzumiya series is in production. The announcement tweet from the official X (formerly known as Twitter) account teased a new Haruhi dance for the Reiwa era.

The Haruhi dance in question refers to the dance that the characters perform in the ending of the The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime adaptation, “Hare Hare Yukai.” Many fans performed covers on sites like YouTube and Nico Nico Douga. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Aya Hirano, who voices Haruhi, made a tutorial video for how to perform the dance at home.

Here’s the official teaser:

Like “Hare Hare Yukai,” the new song will be performed by Aya Hirano, Yuko Goto, and Minori Chihara. They’re the voice actresses for Haruhi, Mikuru, and Yuki, respectively. The announcement picture includes Kyon and Koizumi, but they will likely only appear as dancers in the music video.

Though the height of Haruhi’s popularity was in the mid-2000s, there has been a revival as of late due to the new The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya novel. It will come out on November 29, 2024, and it’ll come out simultaneously in Japanese and English. This is the direct sequel to the previous volume, The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya, which came out on November 25, 2020.

More information on the new Haruhi Suzumiya song and music video will come out in the near future; most likely, we’ll hear more about it later this month to coincide with the new light novel.
