OneRepublic has ventured into the anime realm with their latest track “Nobody,” which serves as the ending theme for the anticipated anime, Kaiju No. 8. Released by Mosley Music/Interscope Records on April 12, 2024, the single encapsulates the thematic depth of the anime, blending seamlessly with the narrative’s tone.
Ryan Tedder, frontman of OneRepublic, expressed his excitement about contributing to the anime, highlighting his personal affinity for Japanese culture and its creative outputs. His passion for anime and manga played a significant role in crafting the song, which was designed to resonate with the anime’s dynamic and adventurous spirit.
Kaiju No. 8 portrays the story of Kafka Hibino, a character striving against all odds to battle monsters that threaten humanity. The anime, set to premiere on April 13, 2024, is adapted from the popular manga of the same name by Naoya Matsumoto, serialized since July 2020. This series is notable not only for its engaging storyline but also for its collaboration with prominent music artists like OneRepublic and British musician YUNGBLUD, who performs the opening theme.
The involvement of OneRepublic in Kaiju No. 8 is a testament to the growing collaboration between Western musicians and the anime industry, a trend that enriches the cultural exchange and brings diverse artistic expressions to global audiences.
