Meaning
There were frequently difficult-to-read kanji and unreadable English.
I thought these might represent CURSE or MAGIC.
The lyrics have words that are crazy and conducive to madness.
Thus, this is a lyric from the perspective of CURSED SPIRITS.
The song fits well with the coolness of the cartoon characters and the intensity of the battle.
King Gnu sang the theme song for the movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
「Ichuzu」&「Sakayume」
In the movie, Yuta Okkotsu is the main character, and he is also a fascinating character.
These are all fascinating songs! Wonderful!
As a Japanese, I am proud of them. 🙂
