**Kenshi Yonezu Unleashes “IRIS OUT” as Theme for “Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc,” Announces Collaboration with Hikaru Utada**

**[CITY, STATE] – September 18, 2024** – Renowned Japanese musician Kenshi Yonezu has released his highly anticipated new song, “IRIS OUT,” today, serving as the official theme song for “CHAINSAW MAN – THE MOVIE: REZE ARC.” This marks Yonezu’s return to the “Chainsaw Man” universe after his smash hit “KICK BACK,” the opening theme for the television anime series, which made history as the first-ever Japanese song to be RIAA Gold-certified in the United States. The music video for “IRIS OUT” also premiered today.

“It’s a great privilege to continue my musical involvement from the TV anime series to the film,” Yonezu stated. “I kept the Reze scenes from the original manga open around the clock, glaring at the pages as I worked on the song. I hope you enjoy it.”

But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Yonezu has also announced a groundbreaking collaboration with global icon Hikaru Utada for a new track, “JANE DOE,” set to be the ending theme for the highly anticipated film. Written and composed by Yonezu and featuring vocals by Utada, “Jane Doe” will be available worldwide next Monday, September 22nd.

To celebrate the release of both “IRIS OUT” and “JANE DOE,” a KENSHI YONEZU SPOTIFY LISTENING PARTY is scheduled for Monday, September 22nd, at 9:00 AM EST.
