Comment from Daiki Tsuneda (millennium parade)
I still remember when I received the offer to write the theme song for Ghost in the Shell, my blood started to boil.
The worldview we are trying to create in millennium parade is heavily influenced by Ghost in the Shell. I told them that I wanted to work on it.
The song "Fly with me" by millennium parade, which was chosen as the theme song for the film, is not only the theme song for Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045, but also our own theme song.
We are very happy that this song, to which we are so attached and attached, will be a part of Ghost in the Shell.
The song will be distributed worldwide in the spring of 2020. Please look forward to it.
