SIF 2: Miracle Live Description
When Haruka was on the verge of giving up her dreams for Kanata's sake, Kanata answered her concerns with this upbeat future bass song. The Konoe sisters' names, "Haruka Kanata" (meaning "faraway") appear in the lyrics. References to other media in the promo video, such as the four-panel comics from Awesome TenFes were a delight for dedicated fans.

Trivia
- The insert song performance was staged at VenusFort, a Venice-themed shopping mall in Odaiba.
- Several of the background pictures are various callbacks to the visuals featuring her:
- The super deformed Kanata wrapped in a futon resembles the one drawn by Fujimaru (TenFes), who is known for the School idol festival app 4komas.
- This single release date coincides with Kanata Konoe's birthday.
- This song is likely about Kanata's relationship with her sister, Haruka.
- Their names are used together in the lyrics. "Haruka Kanata" translates to distant beyond or very far away.
