Kenshi Yonezu Performs Chainsaw Man TV Anime OP ‘KICK BACK’ Live With King Gnu’s Daiki Tsuneta

Kenshi Yonezu's

 

Kenshi Yonezu’s “KICK BACK” is probably the biggest single from this anime season, thanks in part to it being attached to Chainsaw Man but also because it’s a kick-ass song. The physical single was released in Japan today and to celebrate, Yonezu uploaded a flaming live version of the song from his current tour performed alongside King Gnu’s Daiki Tsuneta, who jointly co-arranged the song.

You can hear the song every week on the Chainsaw Man TV anime, which premiered in Japan on October 11. Crunchyroll streams the anime as it airs in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East and CIS. The series is described as such:

 

Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita.
 

One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as “Chainsaw Man” — a man with a devil’s heart.
