Dandadan | A Slice of Peach | Soundtrack HQ

This is a track that colors the world of the hit anime Dandadan, which depicts intense battles with ghosts and aliens as well as a bittersweet romance.

The music is by Kensuke Ushio, known for works like Chainsaw Man and A Silent Voice.

It’s included on the album Dan Da Dan (Original Series Soundtrack), released in December 2024.

The piece is marked by a heartbeat-like pulsing beat and melodious synth tones that evoke a sense of nostalgia.

Thanks to a sound design that seamlessly blends the thrill of an unpredictable story with the sparkle of the protagonists’ youth, it’s a song that fills you with excitement just by listening.

It’s recommended not only for fans of the story but also for anyone who wants to add some color to their everyday life.

Kaikai KitanEVE

Kaikai Kitan – Eve MV

Eve, who is also active as a singer and Vocaloid producer, has drawn attention for his multifaceted talents.

The work he created was chosen as the opening theme for the first season of the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen, which aired from October 2020.

The song was later included on the EP Kaikai Kitan / Ao no Waltz.

Its lyrics—singing of the emptiness and conflicts within humans, and the strong resolve to dispel the darkness and move forward—closely align with the core of the story.

The contrast between the spell-like, steady A-melody and the chorus that opens up grandly grips listeners’ hearts at once.

It’s a cool, fast-paced rock number, perfect for boosting your mood or reliving the excitement of the story.
