Kenshi Yonezu Works Hard on Muscle Training in Chainsaw Man Opening Theme MV

Japanese singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu's official YouTube channel has started streaming a full-length music video for his latest 13th single song "KICK BACK," which has been featured as the opening theme for the fall 2022 TV anime Chainsaw Man.

The song was written/composed by Yonezu, and co-arranged by himself and Daiki Tsuneda (King Gnu/millennium parade). The music video was directed by Yoshiyuki Okuyama, a photographer and video director who has worked on artist photos for Yonezu and the music video for his 2020 digital single "Kanden."

In this video, Tsuneda appears along with Yonezu. The clip begins with the two of them going through a series of muscle training exercises, and soon an unexpected twist awaits them!
