Abstract: A light emission control apparatus, an operation device, a light emission control method, and a program are provided that enable richer expression of an execution status of a program based on light emission from the operation device. A particular-light-emitting-area identifying section identifies, on the basis of information corresponding to an execution status of a program, a particular light emitting area that is a part of a light emitting area set on an operation device, the part corresponding to the information. A light emission control section causes at least part of the light emitting area to enable a particular light emitting area to be recognized.
