King Gnu – Sakayume

A grand ballad by King Gnu woven from a beautiful piano melody and richly layered strings.

Written as the ending theme for the film Jujutsu Kaisen 0, it delicately portrays the protagonist, Yuta Okkotsu, as he carries feelings for his beloved while undergoing personal growth.

The pain of love that gnaws at the heart like a curse, and the strong will to keep looking forward despite it, strike a deep chord.

Released in December 2021, it is included on the double A-side single Ichizu/Sakayume.

The arrangement—featuring jazz and hip-hop elements emblematic of King Gnu’s essence—and Satoru Iguchi’s expressively nuanced vocals vividly capture the song’s world.

Recommended for those who resonate with the ache of loving someone, and for anyone standing at a crossroads in life.
