Kenshi Yonezu’s new song, “IRIS OUT,” is another significant hit for both the Chainsaw Man series and for him personally. His previous Chainsaw Man opening theme, “Kick Back,” was the first Japanese-language song to earn a Platinum certification from the RIAA, and “IRIS OUT” has the potential to reach the same milestone with sales of over a million copies in the United States. Notably, “IRIS OUT” climbed higher on the Billboard Global 200 chart (reaching number 5) than “Kick Back” (which peaked at 13). Both songs were number one hits in Japan, topping both the Japan Hot 100 and Billboard Japan’s Japan Hot Animation charts.
