Chart-topping J-pop superstar Kenshi Yonezu teams up with global icon Hikaru Utada for a new collaborative track ‘Jane Doe’, the ending theme to the hugely-anticipated Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc.
Available everywhere now, Jane Doe marks the first collaboration between the two iconic Japanese artists and was written and composed by Yonezu with Utada joining in on vocals. Also making its debut today is the track’s official music video directed by Tomokazu Yamada and featuring both artists.
Today’s news follows a massive couple of weeks for Yonezu, who recently released the theme to the Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc ‘Iris Out’, debuted on Spotify’s Top Songs Debut Global Chart at #2, and made history as his Chainsaw Man TV anime series theme ‘Kick Back’ became the first-ever Japanese language song to reach RIAA-Platinum certification.
The Jane Doe music video features the two artists, dressed entirely in black, sitting apart on benches on a train station platform. It depicts a station platform where passengers heading in different directions briefly cross paths only during boarding and getting off.
While waiting for the next train, two passengers who happen to sit on the same bench exert a light gravitational pull on each other, like invisible, large circles. Directed by Tomokazu Yamada, known for music videos including Kenshi Yonezu’s Lemon, Uma to Shika, and Sayonara, Mata Itsuka! – Sayonara. Hikaru Utada’s Mine or Yours, A Flower of No Color and Gold -Mata Au Hi Made as well as directing last year’s Science Fiction Tour 2024.
