Chainsaw Man Episode 3 Non-Credit Ending / CHAINSAW MAN #3 Ending | Maximum the Hormone “2-Hundred-Million-Centimeter Blade Length”

Featured as the ending theme and an insert song for episode 3 of Chainsaw Man, this track delivers an intense, tightly packed experience—despite its brief length of roughly 90 seconds—where ferocious shouts collide with exhilarating melodies.

Released as a digital single in October 2022, it was later reused as an insert song in a new version, including previously unreleased sections, for the theatrical film Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc, which premiered in September 2025.

Why not lend an ear to their uniquely blended sound, marked by a striking contrast between stillness and motion?

Flower of the battlefieldNEW!CHiCO with HoneyWorks

Flower of the Battlefield / CHiCO with HoneyWorks

“Senjō no Hana” (“Flower of the Battlefield”) was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “May I Ask for Just One Last Thing?”.

Its lyrics vividly depict inner impulses and conflicts, along with a strong determination to break free, and it stands out as a fiery rock number that differs from CHiCO with HoneyWorks’ usual heart-throbbing pop sound.

The guitar-driven, full-bodied production and CHiCO’s powerful vocals convey passion and defiance directly.

If you’re gearing up to face challenges, be sure to give it a listen!

Adult Chick ChildrenNEW!yama

A high-velocity arrangement that grabs your ears—the opening theme for the TV anime “SANDA.” yama’s razor-sharp vocals confront the universal question: What does it mean to become an adult? Simply growing older doesn’t make you one, but having youth doesn’t make you a child either.

The song vividly captures the struggle with change and the pains of growth.

It will be available digitally in October 2025, with a CD release in December.

Don’t miss the chance to experience yama’s undeniable coolness!

A song by Yoshino released in October 2025 as the opening theme for the TV anime “I Want to Eat You, Inhuman.” It portrays searing emotions that waver between loneliness and obsession, between devouring and being devoured, set to a theatrical rock sound.

Yoshino’s vocals move between edgy power and delicate nuance, highlighting the work’s beautiful worldview.

I imagine many listeners will relate to the bittersweet feeling of yearning for someone even while carrying loneliness.

I love youNEW!Wednesday Campanella

Wednesday Campanella “Wo Ai Ni”

This is a playful song with lyrics that liken the course of love to mahjong hands.

The song was written as the opening theme for season 2 of the TV anime Ranma 1/2.

Its up-tempo sound, wrapped in a mélange of pan-Asian imagery, contrasts with a love story that dives into risk on a wave of momentum—an expression only this unit could pull off.

Utaha’s vocals, shifting in tone from section to section, further enrich the song’s storytelling.

It’s an addictive number that lifts your spirits the moment you listen.

TAIDADAI wish it could stay midnight forever.
