Hikari Are, meaning let there be light, is the opening theme for the third season of Haikyuu, which aired in 2016 and covered Karasuno High facing Shiratorizawa Academy. It was performed by Japanese rock band Burnout Syndromes, who also contributed other themes to the series. The song became closely linked with the show's underdog spirit and intense five set match. Fans later clipped its chorus for edits and soundboards, where it remains popular for sports anime tributes and motivational posts celebrating perseverance and teamwork.
