is a song by Japanese voice actress and singer Maaya Sakamoto, released as her fourth single on November 21, 1998, through Victor Entertainment. Co-written by Yuho Iwasato and Yoko Kanno, it served as the lead single from Sakamoto's second studio album Dive.

== Background == "Hashiru" was the second single released in 1998 by Sakamoto, following the chart success of "Kiseki no Umi." It is also her first single without an anime tie-in, and the first one to feature a photograph of herself on the front cover, as opposed to an anime illustration. The song was released as an advance single for the album Dive, which was released a month later. The single version of "Hashiru" features a different vocal recording than the album version. Sakamoto commented that the vocals for the single version were recorded first, and have "a more innocent-sounding voice" compared to the version on the album.
