Kenshi Yonezu writes new song "IRIS OUT" as theme for "Chainsaw Man the Movie: Reze Arc"
The theme song for "Chainsaw Man the Movie: Reze Arc," set to be released on Sept. 19, has been confirmed as Kenshi Yonezu's new song, "IRIS OUT."


Based on the original work by Tatsuki Fujimoto, "Chainsaw Man" is a dark hero action story that depicts the life of Denji, a boy who harbors a devil, as he works as a Devil Hunter. A TV anime series aired from October to December 2022. "Chainsaw Man the Movie: Reze Arc," which continues from the TV series' final episode, tells the story of Denji meeting a girl named Reze by chance and being thrust into an unpredictable destiny.
Yonezu, who wrote the theme song following his work on the TV anime series' opening theme "KICK BACK," commented, "Following the TV anime version, I am deeply honored to be in charge of the movie's theme song as well. I wrote it while staring intently at the page in the original manga where Reze appears, which I kept open around the clock. I hope you enjoy it." A main trailer featuring the theme song has been released on YouTube.

In addition to the theme song information, it was also revealed that Hidenori Takahashi will voice the "Vice-Captain" of the Anti-Devil Special Division 2, Kenji Akabane will voice "Nomo" of the same division, Kenji Nomura will voice the "Mysterious Man" who is after "Chainsaw's heart," and Eri Kitamura will voice the "Typhoon Devil," who possesses extraordinary destructive power.
Hidenori Takahashi Comment
This was my first time participating, and I was overwhelmed by the world of Chainsaw Man.
The depth of each character is incredible. I was cast as the Vice-Captain, and I would be happy if he becomes a character that remains in the memories of all who watch.
It's also packed with action scenes, so please look forward to the powerful dialogue exchanges!
Kenji Nomura Comment
I'm Kenji Nomura, and I participated as the Mysterious Man.
My impression from experiencing the world of Chainsaw Man for the first time was that, as expected, it was full of action, and the emotional expression of the characters was wonderful.
I had a lot of fun recording with the others on set!
I have no doubt this will turn out to be an interesting film!
Everyone, please watch it on the big screen in theaters! You can truly feel the immersion!
Kenji Akabane Comment
I'm Kenji Akabane, and I'll be voicing the role of Nomo in "Chainsaw Man the Movie: Reze Arc."
As a reader of Chainsaw Man, I was able to recognize... Nomo... Nomo... ah! That guy! But I never thought I'd be the one to play him (laughs).
The visuals were already moving so fluidly during the voice recording stage, so I'm looking forward to seeing the final version. Nomo is also a great senior-type character, so I'd be happy if you could see him on the big screen. Thank you for your support. Kon!
Eri Kitamura Comment
I'm Eri Kitamura, and I'll be participating as the voice of the Typhoon Devil.
I had been reading the original manga personally, so I'm honored to have been chosen for this project!
I approached the recording session while confirming the direction for my performance on-site, so I'm very much looking forward to the final result!
The Typhoon Devil's activities are one thing, but more than anything, the dynamism of the visuals is incredible and overwhelming!!
Please look forward to it, everyone!
