King Gnu delivered one of the most anticipated anime tie-ins of 2026 with "GO GHOST," the opening theme for the new Ghost in the Shell TV anime on Prime Video. The track surpassed 1 million streams on its first day and continues to dominate Japanese charts well into September, riding the anime's weekly momentum.

In a remarkable creative feat, frontman Daiki Tsuneta handled both the opening (with King Gnu) and the ending theme "Blue" (with his collective MILLENNIUM PARADE), giving the iconic cyberpunk franchise a cohesive sonic identity. The music video, which uniquely uses re-edited anime footage, marked a first for the band — and is part of King Gnu's 10th anniversary celebrations.
