The theatrical film Chainsaw Man the Movie: Reze Arc will begin streaming exclusively on Prime Video on September 19, 2026—exactly one year after its theatrical release. To mark the occasion, Yonezu Kenshi’s official YouTube channel has launched a limited-time live streaming program titled “Kenshi Yonezu Station.”
The station offers a new kind of YouTube live experience, with music videos, live concert footage, and television performances streaming non-stop throughout the event period. Viewers can watch the same video simultaneously and share reactions in real time via the chat function.
The lineup includes the music video for “IRIS OUT,” the theme song for the Reze Arc film, the film’s opening animation, and the performance from the 76th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen. The ending theme “JANE DOE,” a collaboration between Yonezu Kenshi and Utada Hikaru, will be shown in both its anime music video and live-action music video versions.
For fans of the Chainsaw Man TV anime, the opening theme “KICK BACK” will be streamed in multiple forms, including the music video, a live performance featuring Tsuneta Daiki of King Gnu, and a dance practice video. Alongside these Chainsaw Man-related tracks, the program will also feature major hits such as “Lemon,” “Paprika,” “Uchiage Hanabi,” “Kanden,” “Flamingo,” and “Sayonara Mata Itsuka!”—many of which have surpassed 100 million views—showcasing the breadth of Yonezu’s musical career.
The live stream runs from September 18 at 20:00 to September 23 at 23:59 (Japan time), giving viewers a limited window to experience this nonstop musical journey.
