Kenshi Yonezu has released a short animated film for his song "Karasu," with animation produced by MAPPA.
"Karasu" was written as NHK's official soccer theme for 2026. The video is brought to life through hand-drawn, pencil-style animation inspired by the lyric "the world of manga." It follows a determined player relentlessly chasing the ball, while a lone crow soars overhead.
The imagery draws a parallel between the crow's free flight and the perseverance of athletes, highlighting the dedication and journey behind the game beyond simply winning or losing.
