The highly anticipated anime film Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is set to deliver not only intense cinematic horror and action but also a memorable auditory experience. This experience is highlighted by the release of a stunning new music video for its ending theme, “JANE DOE.”

This powerful track represents a monumental collaboration between two significant figures in Japanese music: Kenshi Yonezu and the globally recognized Japanese-American singer-songwriter, Hikaru Utada.

The song officially debuted digitally on September 22, 2025, quickly captivating audiences, and preceding its physical release just two days later on September 24. The physical format is presented as a double A-side single, paired with the film’s equally important opening theme, “Iris Out.”

This dual release underscores the emotional intensity and dark thematic undercurrents that define the Reze Arc. The movie plunges viewers back into the brutal landscape of devil hunters, shadowy entities, and the ceaseless war for survival, specifically centering on the pivotal, often tragic, relationship forged between protagonist Denji and the enigmatic character Reze.

The newly unveiled music video masterfully intertwines poignant, high-stakes clips from the feature film with the haunting, complex melody of “JANE DOE.” This meticulous synchronization deepens the narrative resonance, ensuring viewers feel the full weight of the movie’s emotional stakes, amplifying the suspense and tragedy inherent in Denji’s journey.

Furthermore, dedicated collectors and fans are being treated to multiple special editions of the double A-side single. These exclusive packages come loaded with unique merchandise, including highly sought-after acrylic stands and collectible Polaroids featuring Reze, a character central to this arc.

Adding further value, a DVD accompanies the release, featuring the iconic “Kick Back” music video, which was Yonezu’s Gold-certified opening theme for the original Chainsaw Man TV series, alongside an electrifying live performance from Kenshi Yonezu himself. This latest achievement cements Yonezu’s continued, successful musical legacy within the Chainsaw Man universe, now elevated by the rich vocal artistry and global appeal contributed by Hikaru Utada.

The synergy between the film and its soundtrack has already generated immense excitement and widespread critical acclaim, firmly establishing Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc and its musical components as a defining cultural event of 2025. The full music video is now accessible on YouTube, providing fans worldwide with a vivid, must-see audiovisual link to this landmark anime production.
