==Music Video==
−
Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro is an acoustic power ballad, which was the ending theme song for [[Kiriya Kazuaki]]'s debut movie, [[Casshern|CASSHERN]]. The PV is completely filmed in greyscale. Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro was inspired by reading her husband's movie script for the movie, CASSHERN. Allegedly, Utada Hikaru felt so strongly about the script that she composed this song as the ending theme. One notable reporter said that after listening to Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro at the end of CASSHERN, the whole movie finally made sense and clicked together.

The [[PV]] for "Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro" was directed by [[Kiriya Kazuaki]]. The video is filmed completely in grayscale.

[[Oikawa Mitsuhiro]], [[Kaname Jun]], [[Higuchi Kanako]], and [[Terao Akira]] (all from the cast of ''[[Casshern#CASSHERN (2004)|Casshern]]'') were also present in the PV.

==Utada Quotes==
 
−
* "As for how to write the song title, I was in two minds whether to end it with the hiragana 'koro' or kanji 'koro'! For me there are many points to check, like which looks better visually; the difference of impression between hiragana and kanji; image of sound when singing it; and which makes a better total balance when 'Utada Hikaru' comes after the song title (this is pretty important! I always care about this)" --Utada Hikaru

==Lyrics==

The lyrics some pose a stark contrast, much like the colours used in the PV. What seems like a joyous song (When Someone's Wish Comes True) is actually about how not everyone in the world can be happy.
