Kenshi Yonezu - "IRIS OUT" Official Music Video (click image to watch on YouTube)
Kenshi Yonezu keeps setting records in the US market. In May 2026, his 2017 single "Peace Sign" (the Season 2 opening theme for My Hero Academia) was certified Gold by the RIAA for surpassing 500,000 units in combined US sales and streaming. It's Yonezu's third RIAA certification for a Japanese-language song, making him the only artist in history to achieve that for three separate Japanese-lyric tracks.
The certification arrived as Yonezu's more recent hit, "IRIS OUT" — the opening theme for Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, released September 15, 2025 — kept dominating charts back home. "IRIS OUT" reached 100 million streams in just four weeks (the fastest song ever to do so in Billboard Japan history), topped the Japan Hot 100 across Billboard Japan's 2026 mid-year charts, and peaked at No. 5 on the US Billboard Global 200, the highest ranking ever achieved by a Japanese-language song.
Yonezu's earlier Chainsaw Man theme "KICK BACK" had already made history as the first Japanese-language song certified Gold (2023) and later Platinum (2025) by the RIAA — cementing his run as the most decorated Japanese-language act in US certification history.
