SPECIAL COLLABORATION

Dear Diary and Fighter were both chosen as theme songs for the movie Death Note: Light Up the New World, inspired by the eponym manga.

Co-producer Sato Takahiro originally wanted Western artists to contribute to the original soundtrack, but knowing that Death Note achieved international recognition, he decided to choose Amuro Namie so that the audience would recognize the “power of foreign artists”.

Fighter‘s music video includes virtual character shinigami Ryuku and allusions to the original series.
