The lyrics—where the desire to sweep away the pains and hardships of reality intersects with the complex urge to turn away from past mistakes—combine with a fast-paced electropop sound to deeply move listeners.
Released digitally in June 2022, it served as the theme song for the film ONE PIECE FILM RED and as the opening theme for the TV anime ONE PIECE.
The song was written and composed by Yasutaka Nakata.

The lyrics are sprinkled with magic spells and energetic call-and-responses, making you feel brighter just by listening.
It enjoys enduring popularity on karaoke charts, and longtime anime fans can’t help but hum along.

lilacMrs. GREEN APPLE
Vividly depicting the bittersweetness and hope of youth, this work was released in April 2024 as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime “Oblivion Battery.” As symbolized by its title, which carries the flower-language meanings of “first love” and “memories of youth,” the song sings of the importance of loving yourself, scars and all.
Its lyrics, which give you the courage to look forward even amid imperfect days, are delivered over Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s signature guitar rock sound.
It won the 66th Japan Record Award, and its streaming play count surpassed 300 million in record time.
This is a track you’ll want to hear when you’re struggling with the gap between dreams or ideals and reality, and need a gentle push forward.
IRIS OUTYonezu Kenshi
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.

Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chanDokuro-chan (CV: Chiba Saeko)
From the very first bars, this song makes a powerful impact with a melody that sticks in your head after just one listen.
It’s the opening theme for the OVA Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan, released in spring 2005.
Its charm lies in the contrast between Saeko Chiba’s cute vocals and the extreme lyrics, where love for someone goes so overboard that it turns into physical attacks.
It’s as if the story of Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan itself has been turned into music.
You’ll find yourself drawn into its rule-breaking, chaotic worldview before you know it—an addictive track, to say the least.
