The ending theme has been confirmed as "Hearts Glow" by Hana Hope, a singer-songwriter who has worked on numerous theme songs for films, anime, and games. Her nostalgic, crystal-clear vocals beautifully color this work's bittersweet yet earnest love story and the delicate inner glow of its characters.

<Hana Hope Comment>
"The protagonist Lara in 'Goodbye, Lara' leaves the world of mermaids and steps into the human world. Growing up with two nationalities, I sometimes felt as a child that I didn't belong anywhere. Both sides are important parts of who I am, yet sometimes I felt I couldn't fully fit into either world. The song title 'Hearts Glow' means 'the light of the heart.' And the 'wild glow' in the lyrics is the one-of-a-kind radiance that everyone has — something that may seem a little different from the outside world. Through this song, I realized that singing without hiding my true self was my place of belonging. This song is a precious letter to everyone searching for where they belong, and to Lara. Never let go of your own light — the wild glow in your heart is surely a beautiful hearts glow that will connect you to someone."
Additional Cast:

<Minami Tsuda Comment>
"I'll be voicing Lisa. I'm Minami Tsuda. First, the concept of a 'mermaid princess' — it's a world any girl would dream of. What would a modern Little Mermaid look like?! My imagination couldn't stop! And the fusion with Lake Biwa... yes, this show's love for Shiga is incredible! Please enjoy Lara's story, everyone."
Kota (CV: Kazutomi Yamamoto)
Always acts together with Lisa. Seems to know Lara, but she doesn't remember him.
<Kazutomi Yamamoto Comment>
"'Goodbye, Lara' is finally approaching its premiere! I'm so happy to participate in a work set at Lake Biwa, where I used to go play every year as a child. The first time I met Kota was when he was standing in front of Heiwado with Lisa-san, carrying plastic bags. What kind of story is this? What kind of people are they? I think everyone is waiting with that same excitement. Please experience this world where fairy tales and reality intersect. Everyone in Shiga! And everyone around the world! Please enjoy 'Goodbye, Lara'!"
