by Creepy Nuts ‘ new song “Sleep” (Nemure) has been released as an anime collaboration music video. The song was written specifically for the ending theme of the currently airing TV anime ” Yofukashi no Uta Season 2. “
This collaboration music video is based around footage from ‘Yofukashi no Uta Season 1’ and ‘Yofukashi no Uta Season 2,’ synchronizing the story, characters’ emotions, and nighttime scenes with the world of ‘Sleep.” “Sleep” is a new lullaby for those who can’t sleep at night. It crosses over with the worldview of the series, in which those left behind in the nighttime and the protagonist of “Yofukashi no Uta,” Kou, are unable to find their place in daytime society and begin searching for their own “way of being” in the world of night.
The song, which invites you into a nighttime world with the powerful lyrics of R-Shitei, which incorporate the word “sleep,” and the beautiful interplay of the track’s emotional content, has been garnering significant attention since its release on July 5th, along with the opening theme “Mirage.”
The opening theme, “Mirage,” released at the same time, surpassed 10 million streams worldwide and debuted at number one on Billboard JAPAN’s “Global Japan Songs Excl. Japan.” This marks the first time in the chart’s history that Creepy Nuts have had three songs reach number one, demonstrating their global momentum. Furthermore, “Mirage” is ranked in the Top 50 on Spotify’s Global Viral Chart, rapidly expanding its popularity among international listeners. “Sleep” is also garnering attention on social media due to its strong affinity with the worldview and visuals, signaling its potential as a global viral hit.
The anime collaboration music video for “Mirage” was released last Friday, and this collaboration, along with “Sleep,” marks the second consecutive week of collaboration music videos and is expected to garner even more attention. Additionally, the anime single “Mirage / Nemure,” featuring the ending theme “Nemure” and the opening theme “Mirage,” will be released on CD on Wednesday, September 10th.
In addition to the instrumental track, it also includes the TV anime’s non-credit opening and ending movies. Like “Faten,” the album jacket features a special design featuring an original illustration by Kotoyama. Creepy Nuts won nine awards at the MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2025 in June 2025, and in July, five of their signature songs surpassed 100 million cumulative streams according to Billboard JAPAN.
They also won the Best Anime Song and Best Opening Awards at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2025 for “Otonoke,” the theme song for “Dandadan.” With their first Asia tour coming up this fall, Creepy Nuts continues to garner attention both domestically and internationally. Keep an eye on their activities.
