The comments by Mr. Yonezu are as follows.

I made a song called 'KICK BACK' for the animation of Chainsaw Man. Anyway, I'm honored because I liked the original. The power that this work possesses in the first place is tremendous, so it was extremely difficult to find a similar sound, but as a result of accumulating one by one, this song was completed. I would appreciate it if you could hear it. thank you very much




In addition, the ending theme will change weekly. The song names and comments of the artists in charge of all 12 songs are as follows.

・Maximum the Hormone “200 million centimeters of blade length”
The pace of making new songs for the band is unusually slow for me, but if it's for my favorite manga work, I'll be happy to make songs as fast as a dog in heat shakes its hips. It's always been my dream to have a song used in a Chainsaw Man anime, so it's the same as Denji's dream of rubbing breasts. However, it is not at all like 'What? Is this what it is?' 'More!' In other words, if there is a sequel, I want you to use Hormone's songs. More Yarasero. (Maximum the Ryo-kun)



・ano “Chu, diversity.”
I am very honored to be able to do the ED theme song for 'Chainsaw Man', which is loved by many people. I made a song that is perfect for the time I am in charge of, and I made it with my own expression, so I would like everyone to listen to it.



・Eve “Fight Song”
I was very excited that 'Chainsaw Man' would be animated. I am very honored to have the opportunity to be involved with music this time. I wrote 'Chainsaw Man' that I think, it's special. From October, I was able to live as a viewer. I'm looking forward to not only the main story but also the OP and the ED that changes every week. Thank you very much.



・Aimer “Deep down”
I created 'Deep down' as one of the ending theme songs for the TV anime 'Chainsaw Man'. It's a song that I created while expanding the inspiration I received from the work, focusing on the episodes I was in charge of, and layering my own thoughts. I would be happy if this song leaves something in the hearts of everyone who loves the work.



・Kanaria 'Cerebral Rendezvous'
I will be in charge of the ED. This is Kanaria. 'Chainsaw Man' was a work that had a big impact on me, and I was very surprised when I received an offer for the ED. I always worked on music while thinking about how to get close to the one and only world view. thank you.



・syudou “In the Backroom”
I started making music because I wanted to be popular, and I continue doing music because I want to be popular. I think that I myself have a spirituality close to Denji in that one point. When I was put in charge of the music for Chainsaw Man, I thought about what kind of music I would make if I were Denji. I thought maybe he would scream out his emotions. As a result, I think that such a song was completed. It's a song that means a lot to me. I strongly hope that this song will make the work even more wonderful. I hope you will enjoy the music along with the anime 'Chainsaw Man'.



・Queen Bee 'Violence'
I am very happy that I was able to provide Queen Bee's killer song 'Violence' for the animation 'Chainsaw Man' this time. I would appreciate it if you could feel the unrivaled feeling in the work, the jumping voltage, that vivid intensity, and the absurdity of life and death in the 4 minutes of the song (89 seconds in the anime ending version) and let your heart go wild. I'm sure you'll want to start screaming 'Vaaiorhensu!!!!!' What episode will the ending be colored? Hey! I want to unleash it at a live performance soon! Look forward to it so you can literally dance like crazy. (Av-chan)



·I wish it was midnight all the time. 'remaining lives'
It was a work that helped me at every emotional turning point, so I was so happy that I never wanted to finish it, and my vitality welled up. I made a song that made me think that the process of moistening is important. I don't know if it's true, even if it just looks like it's going crazy. I made a song like I got power from my unyielding spirit. Thank you for your patronage. (ACA)



・TK from Ling tosite sigure “first death”
I was able to create a permanent perfect organ with the blood that oozes from the story and the drawings. I will pick up the chainsaw that lives in me and dedicate all my killing power to this work. Is the Nobel Prize mine?



・ TOOBOE 'tablet'
Four months after Chainsaw Man came down to Shonen Jump, the personality John was born. My work has a lot of influence from Mr. Tatsuki Fujimoto. Denji-kun's looser feeling stuck in my heart, and the explosion scene of 'Sayonara Eri' made my eyes sparkle with joy. I never thought that I would be involved in a work as an ending song like this three years later. I am very honored. I would like to enjoy Chainsaw Man's anime with everyone like me who has been addicted to reading.



・Vaundy “CHAINSAW BLOOD”
Of course, it goes without saying that it's a work I love, but I'm very happy that I was able to work hard on a work that I love so much, even though I was worried about various things. In making the song, I re-read the original many times, biting and swallowing the taste of 'Chainsaw Man' that I got from that, and I think I was able to spit out the music that I thought was appropriate for this work. It would be great if I could help bring life to the wonderful work and characters of 'Chainsaw Man'. I think it's a song that you will find interesting even when you listen to it again after you've finished watching all the episodes of the anime. Feel free to feel this song along with the work!



・PEOPLE 1「DOGLAND」
I remember jumping to read the first episode and being so excited. At that time, I wasn't doing PEOPLE 1 itself, so I never thought I would be in charge of the ED song. I think it will be the coolest and most forcible song that will not lose to Chainsaw Man's strong world view, so please look forward to it.



In addition to the previously announced cast, Karin Takahashi will play the role of Kobeni Higashiyama, Taku Yashiro will play the role of Hirokazu Arai, Mariya Ise will play the role of Himeno, Shiori Izawa will play the role of Pochita, and Kenjiro Tsuda will play the role of Kishibe. A certain thing was revealed, and comments from each were announced.

Role of Pochita Shiori Izawa:
When it was decided that I would be playing Pochita, my favorite Chainsaw Man, I jumped up like Denji-kun and shouted 'Yatter!!'.
I've played the partner of various characters so far, but Pochita's love for the partner is amazing.
I'm sure I won't meet my partner who will be 〇〇 in the future.
I will become Pochita's 'vocal cords' and perform as hard as I can so that more people will love me.
thank you!



Himeno role, Mariya Ise:
I am extremely happy to be able to play a character that I love so much from the original work.
I think that Himeno is the character with the highest sympathy and human feelings in the series.
I am determined to dedicate my body and soul to deliver Himeno who will not disappoint the expectations of the fans of the original work.
Thank you very much!



Higashiyama Kobeni role, Takahashi Karin:
This is Karin Takahashi, the role of Kobeni Higashiyama. I'm very happy to be able to voice Kobeni-chan, who I really liked in the original work and wanted to voice her once it was made into an anime!
I'm happy to be able to participate in the coolest work.
I hope that Kobeni-chan, who is loved by everyone in the original, will also be loved in the anime.
thank you!



Hirokazu Arai, Taku Yatsushiro:
I'm Taku Yashiro, and I'll be playing the role of Hirokazu Arai.
I loved the lukewarm and passionate atmosphere of this work,
I am very happy to be able to participate. I think there are many people who are looking forward to it.
I would be happy if I could share that atmosphere in the world of anime.



Kishibe role, Kenjiro Tsuda:
An explosion of punkish energy that destroys blood, violence, purity and common sense.
I was numbed by the energy of the original, and I was captivated by Kishibe's presence. I wanted to play this man.
I feel honored to be able to play Kishibe like this.
What kind of character will the director's request 'restrained play' become?
And what kind of animation will this cruel and beautiful story spin?
I'm really looking forward to it too. I would appreciate it if you could look forward to it.


Also, from October 4, 2022 (Tuesday), a collaboration with the energy drink “ZONe” will be decided. An original drink “ZONe BLOOD” that expresses the world view of the character inspired by “Power”, a “blood demon”, will appear with the word “BLOOD”.
