GLIM SPANKY's "Ikari o Kureyo" chosen as ED for Netflix's "Viral Hit," a live staple released 10 years ago
GLIM SPANKY's song "Ikari o Kureyo" has been adopted as the ending theme for the Netflix series "Viral Hit," which began its exclusive worldwide distribution today, June 11.
"Ikari o Kureyo" is a song released in July 2016, and is familiar to fans as a staple live song of GLIM SPANKY. "Viral Hit" is a live-action drama adaptation of the popular South Korean webtoon, starring Ouji Suzuka. Upon the announcement of the ending theme, Hiroki Kamemoto (G) commented, "It's an important song that we have continued to play for 10 years, to the point where I don't know how many times we've performed it, so I am very happy to be given the opportunity to meet new listeners again."
Furthermore, live footage of "Ikari o Kureyo," performed at the Osaka Universe performance from GLIM SPANKY's tour "All the Greatest Dudes Tour 2025 'Another One'" last year, has been released. This is also included on the limited first edition Blu-ray of GLIM SPANKY's latest album, "Éclore" (Eclore).
GLIM SPANKY will hold a nationwide one-man tour, "Éclore Tour 2026," bringing along their new album "Éclore." Starting with the Kanagawa Yokohama Bay Hall performance on June 14, they will tour 16 locations nationwide until the Tokyo LINE CUBE SHIBUYA (Shibuya Public Hall) performance on Aug. 27. Additionally, they celebrated the 12th anniversary of their major debut today.
GLIM SPANKY Comments

I think it is a truly special thing that a song we released 10 years ago is going out into the world again as the ending song for a new work. It's strange even to me, and I am filled with very happy feelings. More than anything, the song is happy. Ten years have passed since we made this, and right now, it is a song that I have really come to like again. I hope it reaches even more people along with the drama. It's an absolutely interesting work, so let's watch it together on Netflix!

It's an important song that we have continued to play for 10 years, to the point where I don't know how many times we've performed it, so I am very happy to be given the opportunity to meet new listeners again. The rebellious spirit of the protagonist has something in common with this song and our rock music, so I am really looking forward to seeing what kind of energy will be born from the combination of the visuals and the song!
