Milan Records has announced the release of millennium parade’s opening theme song for the second season of Netflix’s Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045. The Japanese art collective, led by King Gnu frontman Daiki Tsuneta, will perform “Secret Ceremony” as the anime’s opening theme song. The track is described as an eclectic combination of J-pop, rock, jazz and funk with electronic synths and beats. 

Additionally, the release of the anime’s ending theme “No Time To Cast Anchor” is scheduled for May 27, 2022. 

Millennium parade is a creative collective founded by Tsuneta that is composed of inspiring artists from various creative fields, including musicians, film directors, visual effects artists, designers, illustrators and many more. They are inspired by the concept of “Hyakki Yakou,” or “The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons,” which draws upon the influence of Japanese folklore that saw supernatural creatures roam the streets and cause pandemonium throughout Japan. They are determined to present their collective vision and awaken new values to the rest of the world. 

Millennium parade has previously contributed the opening song “Fly with Me” for the first season of Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, which was remixed by DJ artist Steve Aoki. They also composed the track “U” for Mamoru Hosoda’s Belle. 

“Secret Ceremony” can be streamed on all musical platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify. You can listen to the song HERE.
