Chart-topping J-pop superstar KENSHI YONEZU unveils a new, fully animated music video for “JANE DOE,” the ending theme to CHAINSAW MAN – THE MOVIE: REZE ARC and a collaboration with J-pop icon HIKARU UTADA.
Incorporating newly reanimated sequences from CHAINSAW MAN – THE MOVIE: REZE ARC, the music video brings the intertwined destinies of the film’s main characters Denji and Reze into sharp, emotional focus. A deeply moving visual experience, the new visual begins with Denji and Reze’s fateful meeting inside a phone booth during a sudden downpour, capturing the fleeting spark of youth shared between the two and subtly foreshadowing the inevitable, heartbreaking turn awaiting them.
Today’s new video arrives as CHAINSAW MAN – THE MOVIE: REZE ARC continues its massive success, playing in more than 100 countries and topping the worldwide box office. Its continued global success at theaters worldwide coincides with yet another milestone for Kenshi Yonezu’s opening theme to the film, “IRIS OUT,” which has officially surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify. “IRIS OUT” rocket started at Top 5 of the Billboard Global 200 chart, becoming the highest-ever charting position for a Japanese language song for two consecutive weeks, and ranked No. 2 on the “Global Excl. U.S.” chart, while his ending theme song for the film, “JANE DOE,” in collaboration with HIKARU UTADA, also entered at No. 10 on the same chart, marking the first time a Japanese artist had two songs simultaneously ranked in the Top 10 on the chart. Meanwhile Yonezu’s opening theme to the Chainsaw Man series, “KICK BACK” officially surpassed 500 million streams on Spotify, following its historic RIAA Platinum certification, which marked the first-ever Japanese language song to reach platinum certification nearly three years after its release.
