MAPPA and Kenshi Yonezu Team Up for World Cup Anthem
Anime powerhouse MAPPA is animating the music video for Kenshi Yonezu's new single, "Karasu – Raven." This isn't just any collaboration; the track is the official 2026 NHK Soccer Theme. Fans can catch the animated video's debut during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Japan vs. Sweden match on June 25. Yonezu, fresh off the Chainsaw Man opening, joining forces with the studio behind Jujutsu Kaisen? That's a powerhouse combo delivering an unexpected visual treat for a global stage.

This is a massive crossover. What's interesting here is how anime studios are increasingly involved in mainstream, non-anime media like sports themes. Fans will definitely want to watch for that June 25 debut.
