JANE DOEKenshi Yonezu, Hikaru Utada

A dreamlike collaboration where two talents leading Japan’s music scene intersect.

Written and composed by Kenshi Yonezu, with vocals by Yonezu and Hikaru Utada, this track was chosen as the ending theme for the anime film Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc.

The lyrics portray a desperate wish so intense it hurts—to follow a path to a loved one, even if it means treading on shards of glass—gripping listeners’ hearts and never letting go.

Utada’s voice, which Yonezu described as “blowing through like the wind,” resonates deeply with the story’s fragile yet beautiful worldview.

It’s an emotional work that will speak to anyone who wants to linger in the film’s lingering afterglow.
