Creepy Nuts Unleashes Haunting 'Mirage' Music Video for Anticipated 'Call of the Night' Season 2 Opening

The highly anticipated second season of the supernatural romance anime series, Call of the Night, is set to captivate audiences with its nocturnal themes, enhanced by the return of acclaimed Japanese hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts. Known for their profound lyrical depth and distinctive sound, DJ Matsunaga and rapper R-Shitei have once again joined forces with the anime, unveiling the official music video for their latest track, “Mirage.” This compelling new song serves as the opening theme, promising to draw viewers deeper into the series' enigmatic world.

Creepy Nuts' Enduring Partnership

Creepy Nuts' collaboration with Call of the Night is a testament to their established synergy with the anime's universe. Fans will recall their impactful contributions to the first season, where they delivered the electrifying opening theme “Daten,” alongside the hauntingly beautiful ending themes “Yofukashi no Uta” and “Lost Time.” Their continued involvement underscores a shared artistic vision that perfectly complements the anime's exploration of night's multifaceted nature.

Diving Deeper: Thematic Evolution of Season Two

R-Shitei, the lyrical half of the duo, offered profound insights into the thematic underpinnings of “Mirage.” He described how the second season delves into the "dampness of the night," portraying it not merely as a setting, but as a sanctuary. This nocturnal refuge becomes a space for individuals to shed regrets and attachments, with a particular focus on adults navigating the complex journey of acceptance and introspection. This thematic evolution stands in stark contrast to the first season's depiction of the night as a place of "dried kindness" and simple refuge, signaling a deeper, more mature narrative arc for the series.

The Creation of 'Mirage' and Future Endeavors

The single, “Mirage,” officially launched on July 4, 2025, under the prestigious Sony Music Labels Inc. DJ Matsunaga spearheaded the professional arrangements, while the track benefited from the expert mixing talents of acclaimed engineers Erick Madrid and Mike Bozzi. The evocative collaboration music video is now available on official platforms, where Creepy Nuts’ signature lyrical prowess and innovative compositional style seamlessly intertwine with the anime's dark, yet profoundly reflective atmosphere. Further cementing their influence, Creepy Nuts has announced an extensive tour across Japan and Asia throughout 2025, reinforcing their pivotal role in bridging Japanese hip-hop with the dynamic world of anime culture. This ongoing musical partnership not only enriches Call of the Night season two's auditory landscape but also significantly deepens its resonant narrative experience.
