Is anyone else REALLY excited to see... or hear rather what CSM's OST will sound like? I think if done right this could become an absolute banger. I think it would be awesome if all the characters actually had different kinds of music/themes going on that suit their personalities.

What do you guys expect and hope for?

I think Coldrain should do the ost especially since ep 24 of jujutsu was so well done in terms of the soundtrack maybe even some heavy metal that's usually the vibe chainsaw man gives and I honestly believe MAPPA will be doing a proper banger of both ost and animation.

If a boy, I would like Coldrain because the final theme of Jujutsu Kaisen was an absolute banger. If a girl, I would like Ado because her voice just fit perfectly with what Denji has pass before joining the Public Safety Devil Hunters because is has the same vibe as the song USSEEWA. Well lets see how it goes…

Sorry guys, I was actually talking about the score. So not Openings and Endings but the actual music playng during scenes. Tho I can only agree that "Devil in your Heart" by SiM would probably be the best song for the Opening as the fan-made one was already awesome.

Do you think Susumu Hirasawa would be a good fit? I imagine Chainsaw Man's score would be pretty metal heavy because... well it doesn't get any more metal than demon slaying with a frickin' chainsaw, does it? lol

Unpopular opinion: I think Hirasawa's tracks often didn't fit Berserk in my opinion. While they were good tracks in general, they didn't deliver that dark fantasy vibe that I was expecting when reading the manga. I personally think the kind of scores you would hear in the Dark Souls games for example are what would really fit Berserk... the metal was also pretty unfitting in Berserk as well.

Chainsaw Man tho... yea I can definitely see metal songs being played... atleast for Denji. Other characters could have different types of music tho which would be pretty cool I think.

I listened to The Pillows while reading the first half. Really elevated the experience and so I hope it’s a rock heavy ost. Drums and guitars are necessary and I hope we get a hard ass OP.

Yeah exactly, that's the kind of term I was looking for. Chainsaw Man gives me DOOM vibes. It's just so over-the-top bizarre shit pumped with adrenaline.

It seems like heavy rock or metal is most likely. As for the OST Im hopin that it'll sound something like this, this, or this. Modern J-Heavy rock but not too metal; almost leaning to the grunge or punk sound a bit. Hiiragikirai songs seem like they fit the vibe.

As for the OP, I agree with what the earlier reply by AbelNhom said about Ado doing it. What with the recent blowing up of usseewa afterall, and the timing seems to fit if MAPPA is gonna be smart by using the artists to garner attention while they're still hot and trending. In any case, Ado is awesome overall so great choice there.

But if theyre gonna do a lighter sound instead of something like Death Note's then I gotta feeling it'll sound like this.

Yutaka Yamada the composer who did Tokyo ghoul, Vinland saga , great pretender
He'd be perfect for this.
The soundtrack needs a dark/sad orchestra with some fast electronic synths for the fight scenes.

But even if Sawano got this that be cool
Bombastic orchestra/ vocals.

Im looking forward to who the composer will be

I want the opening song be alternative metal and ending soft J-pop like we see in other anime. For action sequence and chaotic backgrounds again the same preference, metal/hard rock (which is so obvious lol). Makima should have a mysterious ost, something or like the behelit theme from Berserk, especially when she is showing her cards. I want Aki to have a softer, melancholic theme.

I can only think of Noriyuki Asakura, Kenji Kawai, or Yutaka Yamada if we're talking about scores that can potentially fit CSM.

As for OP/ED, one can only dream but I'm more interested to see either Coldrain or MIYAVI doing any of those.

Those with dirty minds will find my Steam pic offensive

Fujimoto did say CSM was like a mix between Dorohedoro and JJK. So I could see [K]NoW_NAME or Arisa Okehazama/Hiroaki Tsutsumi/Yoshimasa Terui doing the OST since they did the OST for Dorohedoro and JJK respectively.

Yeah I can honestly see [K]NoW_NAME doing the ost and their osts have been pretty diverse for example Fairy Gone, that one isekai, and of course Dorohedoro.

Is Hirasawa still composing? I see that he has done only for Berserk, Satoshi Kon and one other series. I don't think it's possible to get him on this series.

I don't know who has composed for Gintama but that show has some of the best death metal I have ever heard. It would be a perfect fit for Chainsaw Man as well.

Yeah zutomayo is pretty much confirmed to be doing Chainsaw Man's OP or ED. she was invited to comment on the series at the vol 11 announcement and When asked if she was doing the theme song on twitter she denied with a seal emoji meaning her lips are sealed.when pressed further, she responded with a crying emoji lol

personally I would hope for either something very grunge-y (think nirvana) or something very drum and bass-y (think machine girl) both are genres that were big in the 90's (chainsaw man takes place in the 90's) and both are also arguably making resurgences today. grunge carries that grim angsty worldview that is so integral to chainsaw man and DnB has this chaotic energy that I feel resonates deeply with CSM. honestly I doubt we'd get either of these genres but if it was up to me these would be my picks.

I just finished the first volume of Chainsaw and I stumbled across this thread cause I'm an OST and musical junkie.

What chances do u think there is that an "old" song (Like SiM - Devil in your heart) will be used for the opening? I say old 'cause when the anime starts airing it will be kind of old, considering that 90% of the openings/endings now days are new songs or songs composed specifically for that anime.

I just can't see any other option than Devil in your heart, it fits perfectly.

Yea i REALLY want Yutaka Yamada to work on this

He did Vinland sagas ost too

But we'd get some fantasy piano melodys for the sad scenes then dark epic orchestra for the battle fights probably a vocal song or 2.

its such a hard choice . i thought a lot about this , and i just cant come to a conclusion on who i would want . the industry is just filled with genius composers , its the one position that you just cant find any faults in ...

taku iwasaki , yasuhara takanashi ,r.o.n , maiko iuchi,....
i wouldnt be surprised if its arisa okehezama as well , i can see them giving him this oppurtunity.

all of the above have made music before that would fit CSM if you ask me , and i most definitely think they are capable of it . as to what kind of music , very likely heavy metal . nothing goes better with a chainsaw than heavy metal . but i am still open for surprises . i never initially thought EDM would fit jjk , but as it turns it it kinda did well in my opinion , so yeah .....

I feel like an electronic ost would fit csm pretty well (specifically the genre of IDM and DnB). They would complement the chaotic nature of the show imo, i just hope its not some generic ochestral shit you find in a lot of shows

The only other "old" song I can immediately think of that was re-released several years later is "Underworld" by Vamps when it was used for the game Code Vein. Maybe SiM's song can do the same. Especially since MAPPA has connections with SiM already (they did OP1 for Rage of Bahamut Virgin Soul).

They could just hire Mick Gordon for some DOOM level OST's and it would be badass.

Give a listen to BFG Division and tell me Denji wouldn't get a powerup just from the OST playing.

Someone already made an edit with the song added over fan animations: (SPOILERS FOR SOME FIGHTS)

Zutomayo and/or Vaundy are most likely gonna do the ops or eds as they've publicly expressed their love for chainsaw man on their sns and more importantly, because they've never done an anime song yet. Getting fresh, trending artists with an already large fanbase (million+ listeners) to do the songs is a win-win for both parties. MAPPA will most likely reach out to them or they'd do it themselves given their love for the series.

Vaundy made a Chainsaw man fanart (https://twitter.com/vaundy_engawa/status/1368854785579945990?s=19)

while acane of Zutomayo was personally invited to comment on Chainsaw Man during the 11 hour official chainsaw man volume 11 countdown livestream (https://promo.shonenjump.com/chainsawman/chain-reaction/)

Acane in particular is most likely involved somehow given her cryptic tweets (seal emoji = lips are sealed) (https://twitter.com/zutomayo/status/1367029932191219714?s=20)

Since she's pretty much the female equivalent of eve in terms of success (no anime song yet despite having many bangars under her belt) , I wouldn't be surprised if MAPPA gives her the keys to chainsaw man's op or ed given Eve's success with jujutsu kaisen

Vaundy's songs on the other hand are very chill and instill a wave of nostalgia in you so he is a very suitable choice for doing the ED. His themes and lyricism are also good reasons why they'd choose him as they resonate with today's youth, the main demographic chainsaw man appeals to.

Heck there's already a fanmade chainsaw man ed with his song. HEAVY SPOILERS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0q0fNjTydQ)

I Think EVE Should Be Given The Opportunity To Create The Opening Theme Of The Upcoming Anime "Chainsaw Man". They Created The Anime Opening Of "Jujutsu Kaisen" Named " Kaikai Kitan " And That Song Aced IT. I Think It's Logical To Give Them The Production Accountability For Upcoming "Chainsaw Man" Opening Theme
