Prior to the song's release, the music video premiered on October 25, featuring Yonezu and Daiki Tsuneda. It was directed by [[Yoshiyuki Okuyama]], who also worked on the music video for "Denkan" and Yonezu's promotional photos. In the video, Yonezu devotes himself to training in a gym alongside Tsuneda. After a montage of vigorous working out and Yonezu shown with large muscular arms, Yonezu runs off a treadmill into a field and then onto a road, where he is hit by a truck, which launches him through the air and into doing parkour across shipping containers and city buildings. A group of men dressed in similar attire appear and run alongside him through an industrial site and across a quarry. The video ends with Yonezu shown back in the gym, walking on a treadmill alongside Tsuneda, with a security camera revealing Tsuneda is not really there.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kenshi Yonezu "KICK BACK" MV featuring Daiki Tsuneda The shocking development that awaits the two of them as they train (with video) |url=https://natalie.mu/music/news/498941 |website=Music Natalie |access-date=2022-11-17 |language=ja | first=Natasha |last=Inc}}</ref>

"Kick Back" is a song by Japanese musician Kenshi Yonezu. It was released as a single digitally by Sony Music Records on October 12, 2022, as well as in three physical editions: a regular CD edition, a video edition, and a chainsaw edition. The song serves as the opening theme for the anime Chainsaw Man.[1][2]

Background and release

This song is used as the opening theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man.[3] Yonezu was in charge of the theme song for the TV anime My Hero Academia, the opening of the first season of the second season. It has been about five years since the theme "Peace Sign".

King Gnu and Millennium Parade member Tsuneda Daiki participated in the production and arrangement with Yonezu.[4] "Kick Back" also samples Morning Musume's 2002 song "Sōda! We're Alive".

On September 19, 2022, the preview for Chainsaw Man was released, with "Kick Back" being used. In addition, it was performed live for the first time at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium performance on the first day of "2022 Tour / Henshin", which was held on September 23. In addition, the arranger Daiki Tsuneda appeared at the tour final at Saitama Super Arena on October 27, performing this song and "Ai Lily".

The CD single was released in three formats: a chainsaw board, a video board, and a regular board, and it also came with a "Kenshi Yonezu 2023 Tour / Fantasy" advance lottery application serial number and a corporate privilege sticker.[5][6]

Music video

Prior to the song's release, the music video premiered on October 25, featuring Yonezu and Daiki Tsuneda. It was directed by Yoshiyuki Okuyama, who also worked on the music video for "Denkan" and Yonezu's promotional photos. In the video, Yonezu devotes himself to training in a gym alongside Tsuneda. After a montage of vigorous working out and Yonezu shown with large muscular arms, Yonezu runs off a treadmill into a field and then onto a road, where he is hit by a truck, which launches him through the air and into doing parkour across shipping containers and city buildings. A group of men dressed in similar attire appear and run alongside him through an industrial site and across a quarry. The video ends with Yonezu shown back in the gym, walking on a treadmill alongside Tsuneda, with a security camera revealing Tsuneda is not really there.[7]
