IRIS OUTKenshi Yonezu
This is a song written by Kenshi Yonezu as the theme for the feature film Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc.
It will be released alongside the movie in September 2025.
Following “KICK BACK” from the previous TV anime, this marks his second collaboration with MAPPA.
A memorable behind-the-scenes anecdote is that he supposedly kept the Reze pages from the original manga open all the time, glaring at them as he composed.
The exhilarating sound and powerful rhythm heighten the battles and thrilling developments.
It’s a dramatic track that perfectly matches a world where intense plot twists and complex emotions intersect.
It’s a must-listen not only for anime fans but for anyone drawn to the world of Chainsaw Man.
Chu, diversity.ano
Featured as the ending theme of Episode 7, this work captivates with its unique sound that incorporates a Chinese-style pop aesthetic.
The arrangement interweaves rhythmic guitars and synthesizers, highlighted by a catchy, rhyme-driven melody line.
Released by TOY’S FACTORY in November 2022, it held the No.
1 spot on Billboard Japan’s Heatseekers Songs chart for four consecutive weeks.
It’s a perfect track for those who want to enjoy a fast-paced number or are looking for something poppy and upbeat.

DAYSFLOW
A signature song by FLOW whose grand strings and driving beat create a soaring exhilaration, as if you’re racing through the sky.
Released in June 2005, this track carries a bittersweet yet powerful message: never forget the dreams you shared with someone dear, even as the seasons pass.
It became a major hit as the opening theme for the anime Eureka Seven, debuting at No.
3 on the Oricon weekly chart.
When you want to look ahead while reflecting on the past, this song will surely give you a gentle push forward—an irresistibly uplifting track.
A Cruel Angel's ThesisYoko Takahashi
It’s such a hugely popular song that there might not be anyone in Japan who doesn’t know it.
The anime Evangelion was also made into films, which were big hits as well.
Since it’s used in things like pachinko, I think it’s a piece of music with extremely high name recognition.
Bloom, oh bloomEGOIST
A lively sound with a Japanese flair.
This is the ninth single by the music group EGOIST, chosen as the theme song for the theatrical anime Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress: The Battle of Unato.
Its passionate lyrics are striking, giving you the energy to face tomorrow as you listen.
It might be fun to sing it together while dancing.
Although it features female vocals, it’s also recommended for men.
We areHiroshi Kitadani
The anime One Piece began airing on TV in the 1990s and is still on the air today, making it a long-running series.
The manga is so popular that it has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the most published work by a single author.
This song is very famous as the very first opening theme.
The song ChiquititaChiquitita (Naomi Ozora)
It’s amazing how an a cappella vocal alone can put you in such a good mood.
It’s an insert song from season 2 of the anime Dandadan, sung by Naomi Ozora, who plays the role of Chiquitita.
It suddenly played during a tense scene in episode 16, which aired in July 2025, and its surreal vibe and addictiveness instantly grabbed viewers’ hearts.
The way this pure and innocent cheer song turns a serious development into laughter with perfect balance is brilliant, capturing that quintessential Dandadan atmosphere perfectly.
Maybe the fact that the official channel released a two-hour endurance video right after the broadcast is proof that this is exactly what everyone wanted from the series—just maybe.
It’s the perfect track for when you don’t want to think about anything and just want to feel energized.
