IRIS OUTYonezu Kenshi
This is a track whose overwhelming sense of speed and dramatic development will hit you right in the heart.
Written by Kenshi Yonezu as the theme song for the film “Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc,” it will be released to coincide with the movie’s premiere in September 2025.
It marks their second collaboration, following the anime’s theme song “KICK BACK.” Yonezu has shared in production anecdotes that he composed while constantly looking at the manga pages featuring Reze, which really conveys his deep affection for the character.
The powerful rhythms that color the intense battle scenes and the sound that heightens the thrilling story are especially striking.
Highly recommended for those who want to get hyped before watching the movie or for fans of anime songs.

A song by Gen Hoshino, who, in addition to his music and acting careers, also showcases his talent as a writer.
It’s included on his fourth album, “YELLOW DANCER,” and was featured in a Shiseido MAQuillAGE web movie released in July 2015.
With neo-soul and R&B elements blended into J-pop, the smooth, restrained arrangement feels wonderfully comfortable.
The sweet vocals that weave in falsetto and the controlled groove create a sophisticated, sensual mood.
It’s a refined track that’s perfect for men who want to spend a cool, stylish time.
KusushikiMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is the opening theme for the second cour of Season 2 of the Nippon TV anime “The Apothecary Diaries,” which skillfully expresses the mystery and wonder of kotodama—the spiritual power of words.
Created by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE in April 2025, the piece brilliantly fuses an oriental atmosphere with band-driven sound.
Interweaving contrasting elements like the moon and the sun, love and apology, it powerfully sings of an eternal love that lasts into the next life.
Like a medicine that can both heal and harm, this grand work delves deeply into the duality of emotions and the power inherent in words.
For karaoke, we recommend singing with heartfelt emotion, keeping in mind vocalist Motoki Omori’s richly expressive delivery.
