{{nihongo|"Hoshi no Hate"|星の果て||lit. "Edge of Stars"}} is the twenty-fourth single, and first re-cut single, by Japanese recording artist Alisa Mizuki. It was released on August 17, 2011, over three years and a half since "Engaged" (2008), as the first and only single from Mizuki's sixth studio album, SpeciAlisa. The single was issued in two formats: CD+DVD edition and CD-only edition.
The title track was written and composed by singer-songwriter Yuka Kawamura and served as theme song for the TBS drama Hanawake no Yon-shimai, starring Mizuki herself.{{cite news|url=http://beauty.oricon.co.jp/news/89314/full/|script-title=ja:観月ありさ、超ミニ“花嫁衣裳”姿を披露 実生活では「40歳までに着たいです」|publisher=Oricon|date=2011-06-29|accessdate=2011-08-26|language=Japanese}}{{cite news|url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/movie/89408/full/|script-title=ja:観月ありさが激白!?「私は肉食系女子」|publisher=Oricon|date=2011-07-01|accessdate=2011-08-26|language=Japanese}} CDJournal described "Hoshi no Hate" as a "ballad about marriage and family ties" that is "well-suited for the drama series it is used in."{{cite web|url=http://artist.cdjournal.com/d/-/4111061179|script-title=ja:観月ありさ ／ 星の果て|work=CDJournal|publisher=OngakuShuppansha|accessdate=2011-08-26|language=Japanese}} The B-side, "Alisa in Wonderland," was produced by Micro from Def Tech and is also featured on SpeciAlisa.
