<Comment from Genshi Yonezu
I wrote the song "KICK BACK" for the anime adaptation of Chainsaw Man.
I am honored because I loved the original work.
The work has tremendous power, so it was very difficult to find the right sound for it, but I was able to create this song as a result of solemnly building it up one by one. I hope you will enjoy it. Thank you very much in advance.
