by On the Billboard JAPAN anime chart “JAPAN Hot Animation,” released on October 22, 2025 (calculation period: October 13-19, 2025), Kenshi Yonezu’s ” IRIS OUT, ” the theme song for the movie “Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc,” has topped the charts for the fifth consecutive week. Last week, “IRIS OUT” ranked first in four metrics: CD sales, streaming, video playback, and karaoke.
This week, while CD sales dropped to third place, downloads rose to second place, and the song maintained its top spot in streaming, video playback, and karaoke. While total points earned decreased by 11.24% compared to the previous week, it still holds a lead of about double the number two ranking. Pushing aside “JANE DOE” (the ending theme for the film “Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc”), a collaboration between Kenshi Yonezu and Hikaru Utada, which had been in second place until last week, this week’s ranking is FRUITS ZIPPER’s “Hachamecha Wacha Life!” (the opening theme for the TV anime “Crayon Shin-chan”).
This week marks the song’s first time on the chart, and it ranked high in two indicators: first place in CD sales and fifth place in karaoke. Coming in at fourth place is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “I” (the ending theme for the TV anime “My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON”).
This song ranked first in both radio and download indicators. In addition to how long the songs related to “Reze Arc” will maintain their positions, we will also be keeping an eye on how well the songs making their first appearances from next week onwards rank.
