After a long delay, the details for Haruna Luna‘s debut single are out! The title song is 空は高く風は歌う (Sora wa Takaku Kaze wa Utau = Up in the sky, the wind sings) and the single will be released on May 2, 2012. The song will be used as the Ending Theme for the second half of the Fate/Zero anime, which starts airing on April 7, 2012. Click to visit Haruna’s official site.

Like in “to the beginning”, there will be 4 editions of the single, Limited in DVD and BD, Regular, and Limited Anime Edition & DVD (contains Music video “Fate / Zero” mix”).

As mentioned in a previous news post, FictionJunction CLUB will release a single exclusively for the club’s members, titled “sing a song”, coupling with “silent moon”.

Today we found out (thanks to this blog), that the single will be released on March 16, 2012 – same day as the first Yuki Kajiura LIVE vol. #8

Also, judging by the line at the bottom of the cover, Yuuka and Hikaru will be participating in the single as well :D.

Please note that in order to join the FictionJunction club, you must have a Japanese mailing address. Alternatively, you can employ one of several Japanese fan club services (e.g. mukunoki) to redirect the mail for a massive service fee.
