Ending Theme Confirmed as “Blue” by MILLENNIUM PARADE

The ending theme for the series has been confirmed as “Blue” by MILLENNIUM PARADE.

Following its involvement with Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, Daiki Tsuneta, known as a member of King Gnu, returns to the franchise through his creative collective MILLENNIUM PARADE.

The song also features internationally active artists Saya Gray and Daniel Caesar.

Production on the track began approximately three years ago with Tsuneta and Saya Gray. Daniel Caesar later joined the project, completing what has become a unique international collaboration. The song will serve as the ending theme for this new generation of Ghost in the Shell.

Comment from Daiki Tsuneta

“This song, ‘Blue,’ began when Saya and I started working together in the studio three years ago. Later, Danny joined the project after we met while traveling, and the song finally came together. Beyond the incredible talent of these two musicians whom I deeply respect, the full version turned out truly amazing. I am excited for everyone to hear it.”

Comment from Saya Gray

“Working with Daniel and Daiki was inspiring and genuinely enjoyable. I was thrilled by the way different perspectives and cultures came together throughout the creative process.”
