Yonezu Kenshi – Iris Out/jane Doe (1xLP, 45RPM)

Kenshi Yonezu's Iris Out / Jane Doe arrives at a moment when his anime-connected work is reaching an especially wide audience. Built around music tied to Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, this single pairs the newly celebrated film theme “Iris Out” with “Jane Doe,” a collaboration with Hikaru Utada that brings together two of the biggest names in Japanese pop.

The release also folds in “Kick Back,” Yonezu’s opening theme for Chainsaw Man, alongside three remixes that push the song in different directions. Across these six tracks, the appeal is in the contrast: Yonezu’s melodic precision and pop instinct on one side, then electronic reworkings from Frost Children, Hudson Mohawke and Tomggg on the other. Source material consistently frames the set as a bridge between his chart-facing anime songs and a more experimental, pop-electronic edge, which makes this feel more substantial than a simple tie-in release.

It is also a neat snapshot of Yonezu’s current reach. The sources describe “Iris Out” as a Billboard Global 200 top five hit and note it became the highest-charting Japanese-language song in that ranking, while “Kick Back” is presented here as an already global success. For anyone coming to Yonezu through film, anime or modern J-pop, this is a compact, well-chosen entry point rather than just a collector's curio.
