"Hemisphere" (ヘミソフィア Hemisofia?) is the 10th single by Japanese singer Maaya Sakamoto. The lyrics were written by Yuho Iwasato and the music was composed and arranged by Yoko Kanno. As of 2006 it remained the second-most sold Maaya Sakamoto single, only topped by "Kiseki no Umi".
"Hemisphere" was used as the opening theme for Yutaka Izubuchi's anime series RahXephon, in which Sakamoto also played a character. The track is included in the soundtrack albums RahXephon O.S.T. 1 and Super Robot Wars MX OST. It is also included in Sakamoto's Single Collection + Nikopachi single collection album.
The single includes the intrumental version of "Hemisphere" that was used for the opening of RahXephon episode 4. Not included is a re-arranged synthesizer version of "Hemisphere" that appeared in the Super Robot Wars MX game itself.
The only other song featured on the single is called "Music".
