MILLENNIUM PARADE Taps Saya Gray, Daniel Caesar for New Ghost in the Shell ED
The Ghost in the Shell franchise just dropped a bombshell for music fans. Its latest anime installment, set for 2026, will feature an ending theme by the genre-bending Japanese collective MILLENNIUM PARADE. Even bigger news: they're collaborating with acclaimed international artists Saya Gray and Daniel Caesar on the track titled "Blue." This isn't just another anime song; it's a major artistic statement.
MILLENNIUM PARADE, spearheaded by Daiki Tsuneta of King Gnu fame, is no stranger to elevating anime soundtracks, having contributed to BELLE and Jujutsu Kaisen 0. Their distinct, experimental sound fits perfectly with Ghost in the Shell's own legacy of pushing boundaries. Fans have come to expect groundbreaking visuals and deep philosophical themes from the cyberpunk classic. Now, the music promises to match that ambition.
Bringing in Canadian R&B sensation Daniel Caesar and the enigmatic Saya Gray signals a deliberate move to a global soundscape. This collaboration suggests the new Ghost in the Shell anime isn't just leaning into its iconic past but actively forging a new identity. It's a bold choice that could define the series' latest sonic landscape. The 4th promo video offered a glimpse, and anticipation for "Blue" is already sky-high.
