The official X account of Yukinobu Tatsu’s “Dandadan” anime adaptation revealed that The opening theme song for this anime will be performed by the hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts.
Creepy Nuts will perform the song “Otonoke“. The comments have also arrived from DJ Matsunaga and R-Shitei from Creepy Nuts about their involvement in this anime:
The moment I feel most satisfied with songwriting is when I feel like I’ve made a song that doesn’t exist in this world, and that was definitely the case with Otonoke! I’m glad I was able to make it!
DJ Matsunaga
I felt that this interpretation of this work, in which monsters or spirits possess people and “resonate with and connect with their pain and sadness,” was very similar to the relationship I think about between music creators and listeners, and that is what inspired me to write this piece.
R-Shitei

About Dandadan
Dandadan is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yukinobu Tatsu. It was serialized in Shueisha’s Shōnen Jump+ app and website in April 2021 and is still ongoing. It has a total of 13 volumes as of January 2024. This manga’s anime adaptation produced by Science Saru is set to premiere in October 2024.
Viz Media publishes the manga in English, and it describes the story:
A nerd must fight powerful spirits and aliens all vying for the secret power of his “family jewel,” so who better to fight alongside him than his high school crush and a spirit granny?!
Momo Ayase and Okarun are on opposite sides of the paranormal spectrum regarding what they’ll believe in and what they won’t. Their quest to prove each other wrong leads them down a path of secret crushes and paranormal battles they’ll have to participate in to believe!
Momo Ayase strikes up an unusual friendship with her school’s UFO fanatic, whom she nicknames “Okarun” because he has a name that is not to be said aloud. While Momo believes in spirits, she thinks aliens are nothing but nonsense. Her new friend, meanwhile, thinks the exact opposite. To settle matters, the two set out to prove each other wrong—Momo to a UFO hotspot and Okarun to a haunted tunnel! What unfolds next is a beautiful story of young love…and oddly horny aliens and spirits?“
