"Kagayaku Tsuki no Yō ni" (Japanese: 輝く月のように, "Like the Sparkling Moon") is a song by Japanese musical act Superfly. It was released as a double A-side single along with "The Bird Without Wings" on August 15, 2012. It was used as the theme song of the TBS drama Summer Rescue: Tenkū no Shinryōjo.

Superfly's fourth album Force was first announced on April 4, during a live streaming concert broadcast on Ustream and Niconico Douga. In July 2012, Superfly released "Stars", a collaboration with Ulfuls lead singer Tortoise Matsumoto that was recorded for Fuji Television's coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympics.

The song was written by Shiho Ochi and Kōichi Tabo especially for the drama Summer Rescue: Tenkū no Shinryōjo, starring Osamu Mukai and Machiko Ono. Ochi was inspired to write the lyrics for the song after reading the scrift for the drama, and decided to sing about rebirth, around a mofit of the sun and the moon. Ochi described the song as being like a letter of thanks to important people in your lives. The song's release as a double A-side single was announced on June 21, 2012.

When making the song, Ochi wanted to make it the signature song on Force, as well as creating a work similar to her 2008 single "Ai o Komete Hanataba o", that had been used for her previous tie-up with a TBS drama, Edison no Haha. After creating the song, Ochi felt the song was very representative of how she felt as a person at that moment. The song, as well as much of the Force album, was inspired by someone close to Ochi who made her want to expose more of her true self.
