The official website for the upcoming anime adaptation of Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s award-winning sci-fi light novel ALL YOU NEED IS KILL announced today that Japanese singer-songwriter AKASAKI provides the theme song "Teuretette" ("Take Me With You"). AKASAKI is an 18-year-old college student singer-songwriter. He started making music when he was 16 years old, and in September 2023, when he was 17 years old, he began his career as a singer-songwriter by posting videos of himself playing his own songs on TikTok. "Tsuretette" is his first anime theme song work. His comment on the anime's official X (formerly Twitter) reads: Hello, I am AKASAKI. This is the first time that I have been in charge of an anime theme song. The work is "ALL YOU NEED IS KILL." I still remember the shock I felt when I was first exposed to this strong title and the epic story of life and death in a loop. I put the thoughts of the main characters, Rita and Keiji, into the song "Tsuretette." I would be happy if you will find hope somewhere in their heart, even in the midst of a battle with no way out. I hope you enjoy this song along with the anime.
