Comments from Kitatatsuya and Sakiyama Aoshi

Comment from Kitatatsuya
The day I felt as if nothing was blocking my view, as if I could go anywhere. The day I realized that no matter how close "I" and "you" are, no matter how much we feel like we are looking toward the same future, we are definitively different. The day I was devastated by an error that I could never recover from, a loss that would never touch me again, even if I spent the rest of my life.
I sometimes take out these precious memories of spring in my life and look at them. They can be the color of sweet reminiscence or bitter regret, and they become a walking stick for my heart after I have become an "adult. It is the song of a person who has walked in this way.

Comment by Aoshi Sakiyama
I am very honored to be involved in this great work "Jujutsu Kaisen" with the ED song "Light".
The theme of the song, "Light," is the emotional changes that occur as a result of the accumulated experiences and suffering of the character "Suguru Natsuyui," and the feelings of the characters surrounding him toward Natsuyui.
I believe that the heart is more delicate and ambiguous than we can imagine, and that it is like a tightrope walker.
Respect my heart, my loved ones, and others. That is my wish for this song.
I hope you all like it. Thank you very much.

Jujutsu Kaisen" is a manga series by Akutomi Shimoji, serialized in Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump" magazine.
The series, which began serialization in March 2018, depicts the struggle between a curse born from negative human emotions and a sorcerer who exorcises it through sorcery.

The first season of the TV anime was broadcast from October 2020 to March 2021 on the Mainichi Broadcasting System and TBS, and it was a huge hit not only in Japan but also around the world. On December 24 of the same year, "Jujutsu Kaisen 0 the Movie," a prequel to the first season, was screened, creating a huge worldwide movement.

The second season, which is scheduled to air in 2023, will depict the story of Gojo Satoru and Natsuyui Suguru during their high school days in "Kaidama, Tamaori. The past of Gojo and Natsuyui's breakup, which was hinted at in the movie version, will finally be revealed.

On October 31, a "ledger" is suddenly lowered around Shibuya Station, which is bustling with people on Halloween, and a large number of civilians are trapped. Gojo heads off on his own to clear the Shibuya area, but this turns out to be a trap set by Natsuyu, Masato, and other curse-makers and spirits.... The members of the technical college students Torajo, Fushikuro, Kugisaki, and other sorcerers also gather in Shibuya, and a battle of unprecedented scale is about to break out.

The epic story of the curse begins to spin once again...
